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.

The answer is (2) providing an alternate reaction pathway that has a lower activation energy. The lower activation energy will lead to the increase of rate of the reaction.

A gas at 29.4 kPa is cooled from a temperature of 75°C to a temperature of 25°C at constant volume. What is the new pressure of
kirill115 [55]

<span>To solve this we assume that the gas inside the balloon is an ideal </span>gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant volume pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio of T and P is equal to some constant. At another set of condition, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

 

T1/P1 = T2/P2

P2 = T2 x P1 / T1

P2 = 25 x 29.4 / 75

P2 = 9.8 kPa

Why do you think the transition metals are 10 columns wide?
Tasya [4]
The transition metals are 10 columns wide because they can hold no more than 10 electrons. This is why their width correlates with the number of electrons that are included in these metals. Transition metals include most commonly used metals, such as iron, copper, silver, and gold.
