What happens when a catalyst is used in a chemical reaction

1 answer:

6 0

<span>The reaction rate increases.

Why </span><span>Well a catalyst usually lower the activation barrier in an energy diagram. The lower and smaller that gap means the reaction is taking place rapidly compared to when that activation barrier gap is higher. </span>

A mixture of ethyl acetate vapour and air has a relative saturation of 50% at 303 K and a total pressure of 100 kPa. If the vapo

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 0.087

Explanation :

The formula used for relative saturation is:

$\text{Relative saturation}=\frac{P_A}{P_A^o}$

where,

$P_A$ = partial pressure of ethyl acetate

$P_A^o$ = vapor pressure of ethyl acetate

Given:

Relative saturation = 50 % = 0.5

Vapor pressure of ethyl acetate = 16 kPa

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$0.5=\frac{P_A}{16kPa}$

$P_A=8kPa$

Now we have to calculate the molar saturation.

The formula used for molar saturation is:

$\text{Molar saturation}=\frac{P_{vapor}}{P_{\text{vapor free}}}$

and,

P(vapor free) = Total pressure - Vapor pressure

P(vapor) = $P_A$ = 8 kPa

So,

P(vapor free) = 100 kPa - 8 kPa = 92 kPa

The molar saturation will be:

$\text{Molar saturation}=\frac{P_{vapor}}{P_{\text{vapor free}}}$

$\text{Molar saturation}=\frac{8kPa}{92kPa}=0.087$

Therefore, the molar saturation is 0.087

I can't find the answer for number 9/10 pleas help

kondaur [170]

(10)an object will continue to travel at a constant speed unless acted by an unbalanced force according to newtons second law every force acted on a body has a equal and opposite reaction so the speed and the direction of the object will change.

(9) balanced force (i think so )

hope this is what you needed the 10th one is for understanding you can shorten it after reading and i think what i have written is not wrong :P:P:P;p:P:):):):D=) for the ninth one i am not sure but i think so :P:)=)
