Answer:

C. A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction.

Explanation:

  • Catalyst increases the rate of the reaction without affecting the equilibrium position.
  • Catalyst increases the rate via lowering the activation energy of the reaction.
  • This can occur via passing the reaction in alternative pathway (changing the mechanism).
  • The activation energy is the difference in potential energies between the reactants and transition state (for the forward reaction) and it is the difference in potential energies between the products and transition state (for the reverse reaction).
  • in the presence of a catalyst, the activation energy is lowered by lowering the energy of the transition state, which is the rate-determining step, catalysts reduce the required energy of activation to allow a reaction to proceed and, in the case of a reversible reaction, reach equilibrium more rapidly.
  • Catalyst does not consumed during a chemical reaction.

Kindly, find the attached image.

  • So, the right choice is:

<em>C. A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction.</em>

Which process is endothermic?a)b)c)d)The evaporation of water from the skin.The burning of candle wax.The oxidation of iron in a
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The answer is option a. The evaporation of water from the skin

Explanation:

An endothermic reaction is any synthetic reaction that retains heat from its environment. The ingested energy gives the enactment energy to the reaction to happen.

No new bonds formed, no bonds broken in this example. water molecules go from liquid to vapour (gas ), intermolecular bond exist between polar (-OH) molecules and energy is required to break these bonds during the change from liquid to gas. So, it is endothermic .

Remaining three above examples are exothermic. combustion of gas releases energy(exothermic). burninig of the candle exothermic because the energy released from the oxygen into carbon dioxide and water.oxidation of iron also exothermic

A gas diffuses 1/6 times faster than hydrogen gas (H2). What is the molar mass of the gas? 59.95 g/mol 66.54 g/mol 68.68 g/mol 7
taurus [48]

Solution us here,

let the rate of diffusion of H2(r1) be x and⁷ the rate of diffusion of gas(r2) be x+x/6=7x/6.

Molar mass of H2 (M1)=2 g

Molar mass of gas(M2)= ?

Now, from the Ghram's law of diffusion of gas,

\frac{r1}{r2}  =   \sqrt{ \frac{m2}{m1}  }   \\ or \:  \frac{x}{ \frac{7x}{6} }  =  \sqrt{ \frac{m2}{2} }  \\ or \:  \frac{6}{7}  =  \sqrt{ \frac{m2}{2} }  \\ squaring \: in \: both \: sides \\  \frac{36}{49}  = \frac{m2}{2}  \\ or m2 = 1 .469

here, it looks like I have done wrong.

But all of the answers in option are wrong.

Because, rate of diffusion of any gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its malor mass.

And in the question, gas has higher rate of diffusion than hrdrogen. So it should have molar mass less than hydrogen.

Is matter and mass always the same
Anna11 [10]
Matter is a slightly archaic word for something with mass, as in the conservation of matter (which must be paired with the conservation of energy to still hold true. Mass can be converted back and forth between energy, so therefore so can matter. Of course relativistic mass is conserved as it's a function of the energy of an object in that reference frame.
