How does a catalyst work

Chemistry
2 answers:
mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago

Answer:

A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a reaction by taking the reaction through a different path which involves lower activation energy and thus more molecules can cross the energy barrier and convert to products.

The catalyst itself does not take part in the chemical reaction and is regenerated as such at the end.

For example:

C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}+11H_2SO_4\rightarrow 12C+11H_2SO_4+11H_2O

In this reaction H_2SO_4 acts as a catalyst.

Thus a catalyst increases the rate of reaction works by lowering the activation energy.

12) Which particle has the most energy? A) ice B) water C) steam D) there is no difference in particle energy
sladkih [1.3K]

C) Steam has the most energy.

Steam has more energy than Ice and Water because the particles in ice are close together, the particles in water flow more loosely than in a solid like ice and in steam they are very active.

I hope that helps u understand :)

Hey there!

<span>Atomic Masses :

H = <span>1.00794  a.m.u
N = </span><span>14.0067  a.m.u
O = </span><span>15.9994  a.m.u

Therefore:

HNO3 = </span>1.00794 + 14.0067 + ( 15.9994 * 3 ) =>  <span>63.0128 g/mol</span>
