Answer: Options (a) and (d) are the correct answer.
Explanation:
A catalyst is the substance which helps in increasing the rate of reaction.
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by reactants to start the reaction. On addition of catalyst, the path of reaction changes because the energy barrier gap reduces and hence, the activation energy also decreases.
In the absence of catalyst, we need to increase the temperature so that reaction can occur quickly.
Whereas on addition of catalyst, there is no need to increase the temperature as the catalyst itself is sufficient to increase the rate of reaction. As a result, temperature should be lowered when there is addition of catalyst in the reaction.
Thus, we can conclude that catalysts can save money by essentially lowering the activation energy and temperature required.
The methane molecule undergoes oxidation and the carbon is oxidized to carbon dioxide and hydrogen to water.
In this reaction there is cleavage of four C-H bonds and two O=O bonds
there will be formation of two C=O bonds and four O-H bonds.
Overall due to more bond cleavage energy there will be evolution of energy. thus combustion is an exothermic reaction.
Answer is: beryllium-10.
The diagram shows that atom has 4 protons, 5 neutrons and 2 valence electrons.
Atomic number is the number of protons, which is characteristic of a chemical element, beryllium (Be) is an element with atomic number 4.
Two valence electrons means that atom is from 2. group of periodic table, only beryllium is from that group; sodium (1. group), boron (13. group) and carbon (14. group).
Beryllium-10 has 6 neutrons, so it is isotope (different number of neutrons or mass number).
Answer:
Chemical reaction A, because the reactant is a compound
Explanation:
In a decomposition reaction, a compound is broken down into its components, so the number of products is greater than the number of reactants
