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.

Convert the following temperatures to degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit: (a) 95°F, the temperature on a hot summer day; (b) 12°F,
Elis [28]

Answer:

a) 35°C, the temperature on a hot summer day

b) -11.11°C, the temperature on a cold winter day

c)  a 38.88°C fever

d) a furnace operating at 1011.11°C

e) 523.67°F ( theoretically the lowest attainable temperature )

Explanation:

  • °C = ( °F - 32 ) / 1.8
  • °F = ( 1.8 * °C ) +32

a) 95°F ⇒ °C = ( 95 - 32 ) / 1.8 = 35°C

b) 12°F ⇒ °C = ( 12 - 32 ) / 1.8 = -11.11°C

c) 102°F ⇒ °C = ( 102 -32 ) / 1.8 = 38.88°C

d) 1852°F ⇒ °C = ( 1852 -32 ) / 1.8 = 1011.11°C

e) 273.15°C ⇒ °F = ( 1.8 * 273.15 ) + 32 = 523.67°F

Assuming an electron is a hydrogen atom can undergo any of the transitions below, thus changing its energy. Which transition is
inn [45]

Answer:

n = 3 to n = 5

Explanation:

According to the Bohr's model of the atom, electrons in an atom absorb energy to move from a lower to higher energy level.

We must note that as we progress away from the nucleus, the energy levels of electrons become closer together. The energy difference between successive levels decreases and the wavelength of light associated with such transitions become longer.

Hence,the absorption of light of the longest wavelength corresponds to n = 3 to n = 5
