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.

1 mole    6.023  x10^23  from  avogadro laws  which  state  that  equal  volume  of  a  gases at  the  same  temperature  and  pressure  contain  equal   number  of  moles.
what  about  4.589 x  10^23
=4.589  x10^23/6.023 x10^23=0.762moles
mass=molar  mass  x  number  of  moles

Would a calcium ion (ca2+) and a chloride ion attract or repel each other?
vova2212 [387]
Ca2+ and Cl- are examples of ions. There are two types of ions: (1) the positively charged which are called cations and (2) negatively charged which are more commonly referred to as anions. 

The charges of the ions identify their reactions with other ions. Like charges do not react and repel each other while unlike charges will attract. Hence, in this item, the ions will attract each other. Further, the reaction between this two ions will form a formula unit, CaCl2.
