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.

Which of the following is the correct equation for the reaction below?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Option C.

2 Mg (s) + O₂(g) →  2MgO (s)

Explanation:

Two moles of magnesium solid react with one mol of oxygen gas to

form two moles of magnesium-oxide solid

2 Mg (s) + O₂(g) →  2MgO (s)

That's the reaction for the magnessium oxide's formation.

Be careful cause we do not say molecules, they are moles.

The stoichiometry indicates the number of moles that react and the moles which are produced.

It is a redox reaction, because the magnessium is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced. Both elements, changed the oxidation states.

valentinak56 [21]
The correct option is H - H
Compare to other type of bonds given above, the hydrogen to hydrogen bond is very unreactive. This is because the bond is very stable. Each of the hydrogen atom in the bond donate their single electron to form a covalent bond, which is quite stable.
