A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy without itself being consumed by the reaction.
Answer: condenstation.
Justification:
The polymerization by condensation is a well know chemical reaction in which two monomers ("small" molecules), each with (at least) two functional groups, combine and relase water as by-product. Actually, even if the by-product released is not water, yet the reaction is called condenstation, since the mechanism is basically the same.
An example of such reaction is the manufacturing of nylon 6,6, which is produced from adipic acid and 1,6-diamine hexane:
HOOC - [CH₂]₄ - COOH + nH₂N - [CH₂]₆ - NH₂ → - nylon - + nH₂O
I omitted the formula of nylon because it is large, and that is not the core of the question but the fact the kind of reaction: two molecules combine to form is a larger molecule, and water is released
Explanation:
Molar mass of 
= 39.1 + 35.5 + 3(16.0) = 122.6 g
Molar mass of KCl = 39.1 + 35.5 = 74.6 g
Molar mass of 
= 32.0 g
According to the equation, 2 moles of reacts to give 3 moles of oxygen.
Therefore, 2 (122.6) = 245.2 g of will give 3 (32.0) = 96.0 g of oxygen. Thus, 245.2 g of gives 96.0 g of oxygen.
(a) Calculate the amount of oxygen given by 2.72 g of as follows.

c) Calculate the amount of oxygen given by 83.6 kg as follows.
of
Convert kg into grams as follows.
= 32731 g of
(d) Calculate the amount of oxygen given by 22.5 mg of as follows.
Convert mg into grams as follows.

Answer : The final concentration of 
is, 2.9 M
Explanation :
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant = 
t = time passed by the sample = 3.5 min
a = initial concentration of the reactant = 3.0 M
a - x = concentration left after decay process = ?
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
Thus, the final concentration of is, 2.9 M
