Which statement best describes the way a catalyst works?

Chemistry
1 answer:
bogdanovich [222]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Metals lose electrons under certain conditions to attain a noble gas electron configuration. How many electrons must be lost by
viva [34]

Answer:

2 electrons

E. neon

Explanation:

Metals lose electrons under certain conditions to attain a noble gas electron configuration. Magnesium has 12 electrons and its electron configuration is

1s² 2s² 2p6⁶ 3s²

When magnesium loses 2 electrons, it acquires the electron configuration of neon (10 electrons).

Given the following UNBALANCED reaction: NH3 (g) &lt;--&gt; N2 (g) + H2 (g) If 1
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

C. 1.35

Explanation:

                                                     2NH3 (g) <-->          N2 (g) +             3H2 (g)

Initial concentration                2.2 mol/0.95L       1.1 mol/0.95L           0

change in concentration        2x                             x                           3x

                                                 -0.84 M                  +0.42M                +1.26M

Equilibrium                       1.4 mol/0.95L=1.47M        1.58 M                   1.26 M

concentration

Change in concentration(NH3) = (2.2-1.4)mol/0.95 L = 0.84M

Equilibrium concentration (N2) = 1.1/0.95 +0.42=1.58 M

Equilibrium concentration(NH3) = 1.4/0.95 = 1.47M

K = [N2]*{H2]/[NH3] = 1.58M*1.26M/1.47M = 1.35 M

Which statement about the elements in the periodic table is true
egoroff_w [7]

A. The number of valence electrons increases as atomic mass increases. == Generally true for the representative elements since atomic mass generally increases with increasing Z.  

B. The reactivity of alkali metals increases as atomic mass increases. == True. Atomic mass increases down the column and so does reactivity  

C. The reactivity of the halogens increases as atomic mass increases. == False. Reactivity decreases down the column.  

D. The number of valence electrons decreases across a period. == False. In general, the number of valence electrons increases across a period, particularly for the representative elements.
