Answer:

Correct option is D.

It accelerates the reaction rates of a mixture.

Explanation:

It is used to speed up a reaction by lowering the activation energy.Catalysis is the backbone of many industrial processes, which use chemical reactions to turn raw materials into useful products.

Types

There are two types of catalyst (1) Homogeneous (2) Heterogeneous

In a heterogeneous reaction, the catalyst is in a different phase from the reactants. In a homogeneous reaction, the catalyst is in the same phase as the reactants.

Predict the initial and isolated products for the reaction. The starting material is a 6 carbon chain where there is a triple bo

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

This reaction is known as mercuric ion catalyzed hydration of alkynes.

The first step in the reaction is attack of the mercuric ion on the carbon-carbon triple bond, a bridged intermediate is formed. This bridged intermediate is attacked by water molecule to give an organomercury enol. This undergoes keto-enol tautomerism, proton transfer to the keto group yields an oxonium ion, loss of the mercuric ion now gives equilibrium keto and enol forms of the compound. The keto form is favoured over the enol form.

How do genetic factors influence the formation of "dead zones” around creosote bushes?

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Genetic factors contributes to the formation of the dead zones is by their ability to expand their abilities that enables them to spread and contribute to the formation of the dead zones. These dead zones are made when the oxygen are low where it is necessarily important for the aquatic life, if the oxygen needed is depleted or too low, instead of supporting aquatic life, dead zones are created and factors contribute to these occurrences with their ability to expand.
