The answer is C, a catalyst. This is due to the fact that catalysts are substances that can be used to speed up a reaction by lowering the activation energy required. However, the catalyst itself is not actually used up during the reaction.

How will adding NaCl affect the freezing point of a solution?
zaharov [31]
Answer is: adding NaCl will lower the freezing point of a solution. A solution (in this example solution of sodium chloride) freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent (deionized water). The higher the solute concentration (sodium chloride), freezing point depression of the solution will be greater.

What happens on a molecular level when a diatomic molecule is a gas but is then cooled to a solid?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

As an example of the processes depicted in this figure, consider a sample of water. When gaseous water is cooled sufficiently, the attractions between H2O molecules will be capable of holding them together when they come into contact with each other; the gas condenses, forming liquid H2O. For example, liquid water forms on the outside of a cold glass as the water vapor in the air is cooled by the cold glass.

Explanation:

Hopefully that helps!
