How does a catalyst work?

1 answer:

6 0

Works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.

What is the percentage by mass of nitrogen in the fertiliser (NH4)3PO4? [Ar: H = 1, N = 14, O = 16, P = 31]

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

(NH4)3PO4 is 28.2 % N , 8.1% H, 20.8 % P and 43.0 % O by mass.

Explanation:

the formula In chemistry, the mass fraction of a substance within a mixture is the ratio w_{i} of the mass m_{i} of that substance to the total mass {\displaystyle m_{\text{tot}}} of the mixture. Expressed as a formula, the mass fraction is: {\displaystyle w_{i}={\frac {m_{i}}{m_{\text{tot}}}}.}

hydrogen decomposes quickly when exposed to light. the reaction for decomposing hydrogen peroxide is:

Svet_ta [14]

The decomposition reaction for hydrogen peroxide is given below:

2 $H_{2}$ $O_{2}$ → 2 $H_{2}$ O + $O_{2}$

This is a decomposition reaction.

Reactions in which a reactant breaks into two or more products are known as Decomposition reactions.

AB → A + B

here, AB represents the reactant that begins the reaction, and A and B represent the products of the reaction

The decomposition reaction of decomposing hydrogen peroxide is exothermic. When the hydrogen peroxide undergoes a decomposition reaction, heat is also released along with water and oxygen.

Hence the reaction for decomposing hydrogen peroxide is :

2 $H_{2}$ $O_{2}$ → 2 $H_{2}$ O + $O_{2}$

Henri becquerel and the curies found out that atoms were not indivisible and indestructible

Explanation:

The French Physicist, Henri Becquerel, created the appearance of radioactivity. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Marie Curie and Pierre Curie (Marie's husband) in 1903 for their work in radiation. A radionuclide will emit transmission through the process of radioactive sense.

My swimming pool is rectangular (16 feet by 34 feet) and has a depth of 6 feet. Lets imagine that my pool water is full to the t

Reil [10]

Answer:

Number of moles of photons required = 5.04 × 10⁴ moles

Explanation:

The energy of a photon can be calculated from Planck's equation E = hc/λ

Where h = 6.63 × 10-³⁴ Js and c, the velocity of light = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

Energy of one mole of photons = N₀ × hc/λ

wavelength of photon, λ = 520 nm = 5.20 × 10-⁷ m

Energy of one mole of photons = 6.02 × 10²³ × 6.63 × 10−³⁴ × 3 × 10⁸/5.20 × 10-⁷

Energy of one mole of photons = 2.30 × 10⁵ J/mol

Energy required to raise the temperature of a given mass of a substance, E = mcΔT

Where m is mass of substance, c is specific heat capacity, ΔT is temperature difference

Mass ofnwternin the pool = volume × density

Volume of water = Volume of swimming pool

Volume of water = 16 × 34 × 6 ft³ = 3264 ft³

1 ft³ = 28316.8 cm³; 3264 ft³ = 28316.8 × 3264 = 92426035.2 cm³

Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Mass of water = 92426035.2 cm³ × 1 g/cm³ = 92426035.2g

ΔT = 80°C - 50°C = 30°C, c = 4.18 J/g/K

Energy required to raise 92426035.2 g water by 30° C = 92426035.2 × 4.18 × 30

Energy required = 1.16 × 10¹⁰ J

Hence, number of moles of photons required = 1.16 × 10¹⁰ J/2.30 × 10⁵ J/mol

Number of moles of photons required = 5.04 × 10⁴ moles
