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.

Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 525 nm appears as green light to the human eye. The energy of one photon of this

Sedbober [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy of one photon of the given light is $3.79\times 10^{-19}J$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the energy of one photon, we use Planck's equation, which is:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

$\lambda$ = wavelength of light = $525nm=5.25\times 10^{-7}m$ (Conversion factor: $1m=10^9nm$ )

h = Planck's constant = $6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E=\frac{6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{5.25\times 10^{-7}mm}\\\\E=3.79\times 10^{-19}J$

Hence, the energy of one photon of the given light is $3.79\times 10^{-19}J$

What are some indicators that a chemical reaction is occurring? Check all that apply.

Olin [163]

Answer: Some signs of a chemical change are a change in color and the formation of bubbles. The five conditions of chemical change: color chage, formation of a precipitate, formation of a gas, odor change, temperature change.
