The answer is C. They lower the activation energy of an elementary step of a reaction
This makes the reaction rate to increase since less energy is required to make a reaction occur.
A.
Physical change
Step by step explanation;:)
The answer for this issue is:
The chemical equation is: HBz + H2O <- - > H3O+ + Bz-
Ka = 6.4X10^-5 = [H3O+][Bz-]/[HBz]
Let x = [H3O+] = [Bz-], and [HBz] = 0.5 - x.
Accept that x is little contrasted with 0.5 M. At that point,
Ka = 6.4X10^-5 = x^2/0.5
x = [H3O+] = 5.6X10^-3 M
pH = 2.25
(x is without a doubt little contrasted with 0.5, so the presumption above was OK to make)
