D. A ll of the above. catalyst reduces the activation energy thereby making the reaction faster. an increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy and no of collisions making reaction faster for an endothermic reaction while decrease in temperature favors an exothermic reaction.
increase in concentration increases the molecules reacting so the reaction is faster and vice versa.
Answer:
D. Gases were released to the atmosphere
Explanation:
In accordance to the law of conservation of mass, the total amount of reactants must equate the total amount of products at the end of the reaction because matter can not be lost or created. However, certain changes like gas evolution, formation of precipitate etc. indicates the occurrence of a chemical reaction.
In a chemical reaction, the total mass of the product(s) would be less than the total weight of the reactant(s) because GASES, which constituted part of the mass of the reaction, WERE RELEASED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. However, if the mass of the gas released can be accounted for, the amount of reactants and products must balance.
