Measure the mass of the platinum before and after the reaction 
as if it is acting as a catalyst the mass of platinum will remain unchanged as catalyst do not consume themselves in reaction

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A substance that does not get consumed in a chemical reaction and helps in increasing rate of the reaction by lowering the activation energy is known as a catalyst.

Hence, when the chemist finds that reaction speeds up when platinum is added into the reaction then the chemist must calculate or measure the mass of platinum before and after the completion of reaction.

This is because if there occurs change in the mass of platinum then it means that platinum is not acting as a catalyst in the reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that chemist must measure the mass of the platinum to determine whether it is a catalyst.

Consider the following types of electromagnetic radiation:
liq [111]

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave              Wavelength

(1) Microwave  =   1 m to 1 mm = 10^9 nm to 10^6 nm

(2) Ultraviolet  =    10 nm to 400 nm

(3) Radio waves  =   1 mm to 100 km = 10^6 nm to 10^{14}nm

(4) Infrared  =    700 nm to 1 mm

(5) X-ray  =   0.01 nm to 10 nm

(6) Visible =   400 nm t0 700 nm

a) In order of increasing wavelength:

: 5 < 2 < 6 < 4 < 1 < 3

b) Frequency of the electromagnetic wave given as:

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda }

\nu = frequency

\lambda = Wavelength

c = speed of light

\nu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda }

So, the increasing order of frequency:

: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5

c) Energy(E) of the electromagnetic wave is given by Planck's equation :

E=h\nu

E\propto \nu

So, the increasing order of energy:

: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5

How much heat (in kJ k J ) is evolved in converting 2.00 mol m o l of steam at 135 ∘C ∘ C to ice at -42 ∘C ∘ C ? The heat capaci
vovikov84 [41]

The total quantity of heat evolved in converting the steam to ice is determined as  -12,928.68 J.

<h3>Heat evolved in converting the steam to ice</h3>

The total heat evolved is calculated as follows;

Q(tot) = Q1(steam to boiling point) + Q2(boiling point to ice) +Q3(freezing to -42 ⁰C)

where;

  • Q is heat evolved

Q = = mcΔθ

where;

  • m is mass,  (mass of water = 18 g/mol)
  • c is specific heat capacity,
  • Δθ is change in temperature

Q(tot) = 2(18)(2.01)(100 - 135) + 2(18)(2.01)(0 - 100) + 2(18)(2.09)(-42 - 0)

Q(tot) = -12,928.68 J

Thus, the total quantity of heat evolved in converting the steam to ice is determined as  -12,928.68 J.
