Answer:
Addition of a catalyst can speed up a reaction by providing an alternate reaction pathway that has a lower activation energy
Explanation:
A catalyst is an agent that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternate pathway for the reaction that requires a lower activation energy. As the requirement for activation energy is less in the presence of a catalyst, there are more reactant particles becoming involved in the chemical reaction and as such there are more products formed per unit time, or there is an increase in the rate of the reaction
Example of catalyst include
1. Addition of potassium permanganate to hydrogen peroxide to aid in the rapid decomposition into water and oxygen
2. Platinum serves as a catalyst in the complete combustion of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide.
Answer:
A. N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) -----> 2NH₃ exothermic
B. S(g) + O₂(g) --------> SO₂(g) exothermic
C. 2H₂O(g) --------> 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) endothermic
D. 2F(g) ---------> F₂(g) exothermic
Explanation:
The question says predict not calculate. So you have to use your chemistry knowledge, experience and intuition.
A. N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) -----> 2NH₃ is exothermic because the Haber process gives out energy
B. S(g) + O₂(g) --------> SO₂(g) is exothermic because it is a combustion. The majority, if not all, combustion give out energy.
C. 2H₂O(g) --------> 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) is endothermic because it is the reverse reaction of the combustion of hydrogen. If the reverse reaction is exothermic then the forward reaction is endothermic
D. 2F(g) ---------> F₂(g) is exothermic because the backward reaction is endothermic. Atomisation is always an endothermic reaction so the forward reaction is exothermic
Answer:lanthanides is the answer and here is a picture for proof
Explanation:
It's botanical name would be Mandragora officianarum, and it has a humanoid shape. Its a murderous plant that grows from blood that grows in Mediterranean.
Bonds between carbon and oxygen are more polar than bonds between sulfur and oxygen. nevertheless, sulfur dioxide (SO₂) exhibits a dipole moment while carbon dioxide (CO₂) does not because of the difference in their shape, CO₂ is having linear geometry thus exhibit zero dipole moment while SO₂ is having bent shape thus exhibit dipole moment. So, despite the fact that bonds between carbon and oxygen are more polar than bonds between sulfur and oxygen. nevertheless, sulfur dioxide (SO₂) exhibits a dipole moment while carbon dioxide (CO₂) does not.
