<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Correct option is D.
It accelerates the reaction rates of a mixture.
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
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.
<u><em>Types</em></u>
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.
Answer:
The activation energy is 7.11 × 10⁴ J/mol.
Explanation:
Let's consider the Arrhenius equation.
where,
k is the rate constant
A is a collision factor
Ea is the activation energy
R is the ideal gas constant
T is the absolute temperature
The plot of ln k vs 1/T is a straight line with lnA as intercept and -Ea/R as slope. Then,
Answer:

Explanation:
<em>Answer:</em>
<em>Ether:</em>
Ether are organic compounds that contain ether functional group , in which oxygen atom is connected with two alkyl or aryl group.
They have general formula as follow
- R---O---R or R'---O----R or R'---O---R'
while R = Alkyl
R' = Aryl
Explanation:
Scientific evidences abound of the occurrence of plastic pollution, from mega- to nano-sized plastics, in virtually all matrixes of the environment. Apart from the direct effects of plastics and microplastics pollution such as entanglement, inflammation of cells and gut blockage due to ingestion, plastics are also able to act as vectors of various chemical contaminants in the aquatic environment. This paper provides a review of the association of plastic additives with environmental microplastics, how the structure and composition of polymers influence sorption capacities and highlights some of the models that have been employed to interpret experimental data from recent sorption studies. The factors that influence the sorption of chemical contaminants such as the degree of crystallinity, surface weathering, and chemical properties of contaminants. and the implications of chemical sorption by plastics for the marine food web and human health are also discussed. It was however observed that most studies relied on pristine or artificially aged plastics rather than field plastic samples for studies on chemical sorption by plastics.
