A chemist finds that when platinum is added to a reaction, the reaction speeds up. He thinks the platinum may be acting as a cat

alyst. What measurement should the chemist make to determine whether it is a catalyst?
Measure the mass of the platinum before and after the reaction.
Measure the temperature of the solution before and after the reaction.
Measure the change in volume of the solution.

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.

Why do reactivity increases on moving from top to bottom in group 2 of modern periodic table?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

that's because....

group 1 (e.g Na, K) those tend to lose one electron to gain noble gas electron configuration.

they can achieve that by just losing one electron from their outer shell.

as you go down the group 1, element gets bigger in size, which means there is more space between nucleus (which is in center of atom) and electron of outer shell. the more far away they are the less attraction force between them.

so its easier for potassuim to lose one electron than for lithuim.

so that means potassium will easily give up 1 electron to react with non metal or other element therefore it is more reactive than lithuim

but in case of non metal, the opposite happens but simple to understand.

as you go down the group 7 (halogen- Cl, Br, I) element will get bigger therefore force between nucleus and outer electron is getting smaller. they have to gain 1 electron in order to fill the outer shell (to gain noble gas electron configuration.)

as florine is more smaller in size than clorine it is more reactive because florine has more tendency to pull extra electron from metal or other element towards its side. so it easily gain 1 electron to react.
