Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction.

Whereas a catalyst is defined as the substance that helps in increasing the rate of reaction by decreasing the activation energy without itself getting consumed in the reaction.

When a catalyst decreases the activation energy then molecules with lesser energy become able to participate in the reaction and thus, products are obtained at a faster rate. Hence, a catalyst increases the rate of a reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that a catalyst works by decreasing the activation energy required for a reaction.

What error, if any, would the calculated density of the solid have if the material had a hollow center?
maria [59]

Answer:

3) The calculated density would be high, because the volume would be incorrectly measured low.

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It means the density is inversely proportional to the volume.

A solid with a hollow center will have high volume due to air inside the hollow area that will lead to low density.

But the error in the calculation of density is that the "density would be high, because the volume would be incorrectly measured low."

Hence, the correct answer is "3)"

Determine the molar mass of Ze(NO3)2. (Ze=55.85 N=14.01 O=16.00) *<br> Help
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

179.87 g/mol

Explanation:

First you need to determine the number of each elements in the molecule.  This information comes from the molecular formula.  

Ze(NO3)2 tells us that there is 1 Ze atom and 2 NO3 anions per molecule.  each NO3 anion will have 1 nitrogen and 3 oxygens.  Due to that, one molecule of Ze(NO3)2 will have 1 atom of Ze, 2 atoms of nitrogen (N), and 6 atoms of oxygen (O).

Next you need to add all of the individual atom's molar masses to get the over all molar masses.  The molar masses of each element is in the question but it can also be found on the periodic table.

molar mass of Ze(NO3)2 = 55.85g/mol + (14.01g/mol*2) + (16.00g/mol*6)

molar mass of Ze(NO3)2 = 179.87 g/mol

I hope this helps.
