How does a catalyst speed up a chemical reaction

Chemistry
2 answers:
vaieri [72.5K]3 years ago

Answer: by lowering the activation energy.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the extra energy that must be supplied to reactants in order to cross the energy barrier and thus convert to products.

A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a reaction by taking the reaction through a different path which involves lower activation energy and thus more molecules can cross the energy barrier and convert to products.

The catalyst itself does not take part in the chemical reaction and is regenerated as such at the end.

What is the IMA of the lever pictured?<br><br><br><br> 0.18<br> 0.20<br> 0.90<br> 5
IceJOKER [234]
<span>The ideal mechanical advantage represents the number of times the input force is multiplied under ideal conditions, that is with no friction. Actual mechanical advantage on the other hand stands for the number of times the input force is multiplied. 
Hence; IMA (ideal mechanical advantage)=Le/Lr
The Lr =0.3 +1.2 = 1.5 and Le= 0.3
       = 0.3/1.5 = 1/5;
therefore the correct answer is 0.2</span>

Question 2: Heat (5 points)
Ronch [10]

Answer:

(i) specific heat

(ii) latent heat of vaporization

(iii) latent heat of fusion

Explanation:

i. Q = mcΔT; identify c.

Here, Q is heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat and ΔT is the change in temperature.

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of substance of mass 1 kg by 1 degree C is known as the specific heat.  

ii. Q = mLvapor; identify Lvapor

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of vaporization.

The amount of heat required to convert the 1 kg liquid into 1 kg vapor at constant temperature.  

iii. Q = mLfusion; identify Lfusion

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of fusion.  

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of vaporization.

The amount of heat required to convert the 1 kg solid  into 1 kg liquid at constant temperature.

The al alkaline earth metals have two railing electrons how does it form ions 1. Gain two electrons 2. Gain 6 electrons 3. They
S_A_V [24]
The correct response would be 3. The alkaline earth metals would tend to lose its valence electrons, in this case 2 of them at different energy levels, to form the same respective ion, which is +2.

Which processes must happen for sand to eventually become metamorphic rock? In one to two sentences, name and briefly describe t
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Sand may be deposited as sediments that become sedimentary rocks after hardening, or lithifying. Extreme burial pressure, rising temperature at depth, and a lot of time, will transform just about any rock to become a metamorphic rock.
