Answer : Option 2) providing an alternate reaction pathway that has a lower activation energy


Explanation : When a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction it increases the rate of reaction by lowering the energy of activation. It provides an alternate pathway for a reaction to proceed with a lower Ea energy. Usually a catalyst never gets consumed in the reaction process. It will appear in the reaction mechanism steps but not in the overall reaction like reactants and products.

A compound is found to contain 38.65 % carbon, 16.25 % hydrogen, and 45.09 % nitrogen by mass. what is the empirical formula for
iren [92.7K]

The molar mass of carbon is 12, hydrogen is 1, and nitrogen is 14, hence the ratio are:

 

C = 38.65 / 12 = 3.22

H = 16.25 / 1 = 16.25

N = 45.09 / 14 = 3.22

 

Divide the three by the lowest ratio which is 3.22:

 

C = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1

H = 16.25 / 3.22 = 5

N = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1

 

So the empirical formula is:

How many grams of nitric acid will react completely with a block of iron metal that is 4.5 cm by 3.0 cm by 3.5 cm, if the densit
denpristay [2]

Balance the equation first: 

2 Fe+6 HNO3→2 Fe(NO3)3+3H2

Then calculate mass of Iron :

4.5×3.0×3.5 cm3(1 mL1 cm3)(7.87 g Fe1 ml)=371.86 g Fe

Now use Stoichiometry:

371.86 g Fe×(1 mol Fe55.85 g Fe)×(6 mol HNO32 mol Fe)=19.97 mol HNO3

Convert moles of nitric acid to grams

19.97 mol HNO3×(63.01 g HNO31 mol HNO3)=1258.3 g HNO3
