Answer:
D. The catalyst could absorb one of the particles, making a successful (reaction-producing) collision with the other particles more likely.
Explanation:
The way that a solid (heterogenous) catalysts functions is by the reactant getting adsorbed to the surface of the catalyst at active sites. An interaction between the surface of the catalyst and the reactant makes the reactants more reactive, causing the reaction to happen.
The overall charge on this ion is -3. Neutrons don’t carry a charge, while protons and electrons carry a net +1 and -1 charge, respectively. In this case, the electrons outweigh the protons by 3, making the overall charge -3.
Hope this helps!
Due to the law of conservation of energy we know that the energy that heated the surrounding had to have come from the reaction which means that the wood (with oxygen since this is combustion) lost 12000J. The change in energy for the wood is negative. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
