These are four questions and four answers.

Answers:

1) activation energy of the reverse reaction

     b. Decreased

2) Rate of the forward reaction

    a. Increased

3) Rate of the reverse reaction

    a. Increased

4) Activation energy of the forward reaction

    b. decreased

Explanation:

<em>Activarion energy</em> is the energy required by the reactants to form the intermediate transition state and become products.

<em>Catalysts</em> are substances that change the path of the chemical reactions, lowering the activation energy, and thus speeding up the rate of the reactions, since the products can reach the new lower activation energy faster.

The equilibrium reactions are the chemical process in which two reactions, the <em>forward and the reverese reactions</em>, occur simultaneously and at the same rate.  The equlibrium reactions may be represented by:

  • A ⇄ B

Where A → B is the direct or forward reaction, and A ← B is the reverse reaction (note the inversed arrow, from right to left).

For the direct reaction A represents the reactants and B represents the products. On the other hand, B represents the reactants and A represents the reactants of the reverse reaction and A. This, is A is the reactant of the forward reaction and the product of the reverse reaction, while B is the reactant of the reverse reaction and the product of the forward reaction.

Since, <em>the addition of a catalyst</em> lowers the activation energy of the process, the new activation energy is lower for both the forward and the reverse reaction, meaning that:

1. <em>The activation energy of the reverse reaction is decreased</em> (option b. of the first question)

2.<em> The rate of the forward reaction is increased</em> (option a. of the second question)

3. <em>The rate of the reverse reaction is increased</em> (option a. of the third question).

4. <em>Activation energy of the forward reaction is decreased</em> (option b. of the fourth question).

In summary, the addition of a catalyst decreases the activation energy for both forward and reverse reactions, and increases the rate of both forward and reverse reactions.

The following aspects of a reaction affected by the addition of a catalyst are

  • 1) activation energy of the reverse reaction: b. Decreased
  • 2) Rate of the forward reaction: a. Increased
  • 3) Rate of the reverse reaction: a. Increased
  • 4) Activation energy of the forward reaction: b. decreased
<h3>Explanation: </h3>

The following aspects of a reaction affected by the addition of a catalyst (it is  a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a usually faster rate or under different conditions (as at a lower temperature) than otherwise possible) are

1) activation energy of the reverse reaction: b. Decreased

Energy of activation is the energy that must be provided to a chemical or nuclear system with potential reactants to result in: a chemical reaction, nuclear reaction, or other physical phenomena.

2) Rate of the forward reaction: a. Increased

Forward reaction is the reaction that products are produced from reactants and it goes from left to right in a reversible reaction.

3) Rate of the reverse reaction: a. Increased

A reversible reaction is a reaction in which the reactants form products react together to give the reactants back.

4) Activation energy of the forward reaction: b. decreased

The activation energy for the forward reaction is the free energy amount that must be added to go from the energy level of the reactants to the energy level of the transition state

24. Element X has five valence electrons, element Y has one valence electron, and element Z has one valence electron. Which two
natka813 [3]
Elements Y and elements Z would have similar properties due to the fact that they both posses the same number of valence electrons. They both have a single valence electron that determines the corresponding elements bonding properties and the fact that it can either donate 1 valence electron to produce an ion that would be attracted to another atom, that is also an ion. Assuming that these elements are group 1 elements, they do not undergo in covalent bonding.

Which aqueous solution has the highest boiling point?a. 0.20 M NaClb. 0.10 M CaCl2c. 0.1 M Ga2(SO4)3d. 0.2 M C6H12O6
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

c. 0.1 M Ga₂(SO₄)₃

Explanation:

The boiling point increasing of a solvent due the addition of a solute follows the formula:

ΔT = K*m*i

<em>Where K is boiling point increasing constant (Depends of the solute), m is molality = molarity when solvent is water, and i is Van't Hoff factor.</em>

<em />

That means the option with the higher m*i will be the solution with the highest boiling point:

a. NaCl has i = 2 (NaCl dissociates in Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions).

m* i = 0.20*2 = 0.4

b. CaCl₂; i = 3. 3 ions.

m*i= 0.10M * 3 = 0.3

c. Ga₂(SO₄)₃ dissolves in 5 ions. i = 5

m*i = 0.10M*55 = 0.5

d. C₆H₁₂O₆ has i = 1:

m*i = 0.2M*1 = 0.2

The solution with highest boiling point is:

<h3>c. 0.1 M Ga₂(SO₄)₃</h3>

When 250 ml of water is added to 35 ml of 0.2 M HCl
Paladinen [302]
Assuming that you’re looking for the concentration of water in the solution, then it would be 0.028 M.

You would have to use the formula:
c1v1 = c2v2, where c =concentration and
v = volume

C1 = ?
V1 = 250 mL
C2 = 0.2 M
V2 = 35 mL

C1 x 250 mL = 0.2 M x 35 mL

C1 = (0.2 M x 35 mL) / 250 mL

C1 = 0.028 M of water added to 35mL of 0.2M HCl

Therefore, there is 0.028 M of water added to 35mL of 0.2M HCl
