Answer:

by providing an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy

Explanation:

Cataysts are the substances that neither consumed nor produced during a chemical reaction, but increase the rate of the reaction.

So, catalysts remain chemically unchnaged after the completion of the reaction.

For a reaction to occur, reactants molecule must collide and successful collisions lead to product formation.

A certain minimum amount of energy is required for successful collision. This minimum amounr of energy is called activation energy.

One way to increase speed of reaction is to provide energy to the reactants  and other way to increase speed is to provide alternate pathway with lower activation energy.

Catalyst increases a rate of reaction by providing an alternate pathway with lower activation energy.

Therefore, the correct option is option b 'by providing an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy'

e average bond order is the number of bonds between two atoms taking into account resonance. Draw a Lewis structure for ozone an
sineoko [7]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Resonance is a valence bond terminology which is used to describe a situation in which a single structure is not able to fully describe the nature of bonding in a molecule.

In such cases, we invoke more than one structure. Each structure contributes significantly to our understanding of the nature of bonding in the molecule under consideration and these structures are called canonical or resonance structures.

The real structure of the molecule is somewhere in between these structures -  a resonance hybrid.

For ozone, two equivalent structures can be used to describe the bonding in the molecule. These structures are equivalent as shown in the mage attached. We can see from these structures that the bond order in ozone is 1.5(one and half bonds)

If 125 mL of a 1.1 M glucose solution is diluted to 500.0 mL , what is the molarity of the diluted solution? Express your answer
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

0.28M

Explanation:

From the question given, we obtained the following information:

C1 = 1.1 M

V1 = 125mL

V2 = 500mL

C2 =?

Using the dilution formula C1V1 = C2V2, we can easily find the molarity of the diluted solution as follows:

C1V1 = C2V2

1.1 x 125 = C2 x 500

Divide both side by 500

C2 = (1.1 x 125)/500 =

C2 = 0.28M

According to the law of multiple proportions, when water forms, the mass ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is variable.
Eddi Din [679]

Answer & Explanation:

The law of multiple proportion states that two elements A and B can react with each other to form multiple compounds while one of the two elements remain fixed.

For Example

Hydrogen reacts with oxygen to form:

Water (H2O)

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)

What does the molar mass of an element represent?
IrinaK [193]

The answer is: both choices a and b.

The base SI unit for molar mass is kg/mol, but chemist more use g/mol (gram per mole).

For example, the molar mass of fluorine is 38.00 g/mol.

M(F₂) = 2 · Ar(F) · g/mol.

M(F₂) = 2 · 19.00 · g/mol.

M(F₂) = 38.00 g/mol.

Molar mass M represent the mass of a substance (in this example molecule of florine) divided by the amount of substance.

Ar is the atomic weight of a chemical element (in this example fluorine).
