How do catalysts affect energy of reactions

Chemistry
2 answers:
Strike441 [17]4 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction allowing them to proceed faster than they would naturally. Activation energy is the free energy that is required to be input in the reactant side to activate them to the transition state after which the reaction proceeds spontaneously to products.

An example of a catalyst is platinum, that is put in the exhaust of cars, to help convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide before it is emitted into the air.

_____________ is a common and tasty compound made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Glucose

Explanation:

Glucose, also called dextrose is one of a group of carbohydrates known as simple sugars or monosaccharides. Glucose is derived from the Greek word 'glykys' meaning “sweet”. It has the molecular formula C6H12O6. It is commonly found in fruits and honey and is the major free sugar circulating in the blood of higher animals. It is the source of energy in cell function, and the regulation of its metabolism is of great importance. Molecules of starch, the major energy-reserve of carbohydrate of plants, consist of thousands of linear glucose units. Another major compound composed of glucose is cellulose, which is also linear. Dextrose is the molecule D-glucose.

Glucose is composed of carbon hydrogen and oxygen in a ratio of 1:2:1 as typified by its formula. It is known for its sweet taste. It can be combined with fructose in table sugar.

A cup of coffee (140g) cools from 75°C down to comfortable room temperature 20°C. How much energy does it release to the surroun
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Given that the mass of coffee in the cup = 140 g

Final temperature = 20^{0}C

Initial temperature = 75^{0}C

Let us assume the specific heat of coffee is equal to that of water = 4.184\frac{J}{g^{0}C }

Temperature change = T(final) - T(initial) = (20 - 75 )^{0}C

                                                                   =- 55 ^{0}C

-Heat given out by coffee = heat absorbed by the surroundings

Heat released into the surroundings =-(mC(T_{final}-T_{initial}))

                                             = -(140g)4.184\frac{J}{g^{0}C }( -55^{0}C)

                                             = 32,217 J

Sulfur has an atomic number of 16. sulfur will form chemical bonds in a similar manner as __________. sulfur has an atomic numbe
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:- Oxygen

Explanations:- Elements of same group(family) forms the bonds in almost similar manner. Oxygen and sulfur are the elements of same group and have equal number of valence electrons. So, they form chemical bonds in similar manner as each one needs two more electrons to complete it's octet.

Hydrogen has one valence electron and so it forms only a one single bond.

Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and it needs three more electrons to complete it's octet and for this it forms three single bonds or one single and one double bond.

Carbon has 4 valence electrons and needs 4 more electrons to complete it's octet. The number of bonds are different for hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon as compared to sulfur.

So, the only and only correct choice is oxygen.
