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.

This is a incomplete question.The complete question is:

A chemist adds 180.0 ml of a 1.77 mol/L of sodium thiosulfate solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of sodium thiosulfate the chemist has added to the flask. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer: 50.4 g

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Moles of solute}={\text{Molarity of the solution}}\times{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$ .....(1)
