Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by the reactants to participate in the chemical reaction.

Therefore, reactant molecules whose energy is less than the activation energy are not able to participate in the reaction. Hence, a catalyst lowers the activation energy so that molecules with less energy can also participate in the reaction.

Thus, a catalyst is a specie that increases the reaction rate and has a lower activation energy.

Explain on any two materials that you would expect to use for the wheelchair (both back support and
Ugo [173]

Answer:

In the backrest use materials where it is easy to clean and where they do not absorb fluids, in this way it would be cooler, such as an ecological leather simulator.

And in the armrest as well, but in both areas we must not rule out that if or if it should have even a minimum of padded surface so that the patient or the person who spends most of the day in the wheelchair does not suffer from joint pain.

Explanation:

Some wheelchair factories also implement modern chairs where they are made of stainless steel structures lined with padded material with perforated fabrics that allow breathing and aeration of body areas that have contact with the fabric.

Saliva, produced by glands in the mouth, plays an important role in the digestion of food. Saliva contains a chemical, called am
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin. Thus, digestion of food occurs within the mouth, even before food reaches the stomach.

Which of the following item(s) explain the differences between the Ka values. Choose one or more: A. The negative charge is on t
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

D. The electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms pull electron density from the oxygen in trifluoroacetate. The negative charge is more stabilized in trifluoroacetate by this effect.

Explanation:

The structures of trifluoroacetate and acetic acid are both shown in the image attached.

The trifluoroacetate anion (CF3CO2-), just like the acetate anion has in the middle, two oxygen atoms.

However, in the trifluoroacetate anion, there are also three electronegative fluorine atoms attached to the nearby carbon atom attached to the carbonyl, and these pull some electron density through the sigma bonding network away from the oxygen atoms, thereby spreading out the negative charge further. This effect, called the "inductive effect" stabilizes the anion formed,the trifouoroacetate anion is thus more stabilized than the acetate anion.

Hence, trifluoroacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, having a pKa of -0.18.

How many grams of S are in 475 g of SO2?
enot [183]

There are 237. 5 g of Sulfur,S in 475 g of SO2?

<h3 />

<h3>Calculation of grams of Sulfur</h3>

From the question, we can say that

  • The molar mass of sulfur = 32 g/mol
  • The molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Therefore,

The molar mass for SO2 = 32 + (16 × 2) g/mol  = 64 g/mol

Now,

If 1 mole of SO2 contains 1 mole of S

Then 64 g of SO2, will contain 32g of S;

Such that

475 g of SO2 will give { \frac{ 32g of S) ( 475 g of SO2)}{64 of SO2} }  = 237. 5 g of Sulfur.
