What is the concentration of the hydroxide ion? Given that the concentration of the hydronium ion is 2.3 X 10^-7 M
professor190 [17]

Answer:

4.35 * 10^-8 M

Explanation:

Since the concentration of the hydronium ion= 2.3 X 10^-7 M

And we know that;

[H3O^+] [OH^-] = 1 * 10^-14

[H3O^+]  = concentration of the hydronium ion

[OH^-] = concentration of the hydroxide ion

So;

[OH^-] =1 * 10^-14/[ H3O^+]

But [H3O^+] = 2.3 X 10^-7 M

[OH^-] = 1 * 10^-14/2.3 X 10^-7

[OH^-] = 4.35 * 10^-8 M

Which statement best describes the way a catalyst works?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer: E. It decreases the value of Eact.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the extra energy that must be supplied to reactants in order to cross the energy barrier and thus convert to products.

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 more molecules convert to products.

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