Considering that catalysts are not consumed in a reaction, how do you think increasing the amount of catalyst would affect the r

eaction rate for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide?

Answer : If you add catalyst to a reaction mixture it would increase its rate of reaction to certain extent after sometime the reactant molecules will start regenerating the catalyst molecule again. There will be one moment where reactant molecule will not require any more catalyst and on their own they will do the reaction. The main function of catalyst is to lower the activation energy of the reaction irrespective of decomposition or generation of any product.

Answer: by lowering the activation energy

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a reaction by taking the reaction through a different path which involves lower activation energy and thus more molecules can cross the energy barrier and convert to products.

Activation energy is the extra energy that must be supplied to reactants in order to cross the energy barrier and thus convert to products.

The catalyst itself does not take part in the chemical reaction and is regenerated as such at the end.

Thus the rate for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide increases on addition of catalyst by lowering the activation energy.

60 kg of fuel was completely burnt for an experiment. The amount of heat energy was found to be 180000KJ. Calculate calorific va
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

3000 kJ/kg

Explanation:

The calorific value of a substance is the amount of heat produced per unit mass by the combustion of the substance.

It is given by:

C=\frac{Q}{m}

where

Q is the amount of heat released

m is the mass of the fuel

In this problem, we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of fuel

Q=180,000 kJ is the amount of heat released

Therefore, the calorific value of the fuel is:

C=\frac{180,000}{60}=3000 kJ/kg
