Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A catalyst is defined as the substance that lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction without itself getting consumed so that there will be increase in rate of reaction.

As catalyst lowers the activation energy so, reactant molecules with lower energy also participates in the reaction. Hence, morr collisions occur due to which there is rapid formation of products.

Thus, we can conclude that statement the reaction is completed in a shorter amount of time, best describes the result of using a catalyst in a chemical reaction.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

120.575 kJ is the activation energy for the souring process.

Explanation:

The formula for an activation energy is given as:

$\log (\frac{K_2}{K_1})=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]$

where,

$K_1$ = rate constant at $25^oC$ = $40k$

$K_2$ = rate constant at $4^oC$ = $k$

$Ea$ = activation energy for the reaction = ?

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K

$T_1$ = initial temperature = $25^oC=273+25=298 K$

$T_2$ = final temperature = $4^oC=273+4=277 K$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:l

$\log (\frac{k}{40k})=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times 8.314 J/mol K}[\frac{1}{298K}-\frac{1}{277 K}]$

$E_a=120,575.61J=120.575 kJ$

120.575 kJ is the activation energy for the souring process.

Answer: the unshared pair of electrons on the nitrogen can accept a proton

Explanation:

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

Amines have a general molecular formula of $RNH_2$ which has lone pair of electrons on nitrogen and thus is able to donate electrons to a lewis acid which is short of electrons. In other words nitrogen can accept a proton.

$RNH_2+H^+\rightarrow RNH_3^+$
