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.

Write the chemical formula for the cation present in the aqueous solution of cuso4.
Inessa05 [86]

The ionic compounds on dissolving in aqueous solution dissociate into their respective ions that are cations and anions.

The ions present in the aqueous solution of CuSO_4 are Cu^{2+} and SO_{4}^{2-}.

So, the chemical formula of the cation present in the aqueous solution of CuSO_4 is Cu^{2+}.
