How does a catalyst speed up a chemical reaction

Chemistry

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.

Answer:

d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces

Explanation:

The aim of the question is to select the right condition for that would increases the rate of the reaction.

a) use a large sized piece of the solid Cu

This option is wrong. Reducing the surface area decreases the reaction rate.

b) lower the initial temperature below 25 °C for the liquid reactant, HNO3

Hugher temperatures leads to faster reactions hence this option is wrong.

c) use a 0.5 M HNO3 instead of 2.0 M HNO3

Higher concentration leads to increased rate of reaction. Hence this option is wrong.

d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces

This leads to an increased surface area of the reactants, which leads to an increased rate of the reaction. This is the correct option.

Exam 3 Material

Homework Page Without Visible Answers

This page has all of the required homework for the material covered in the third exam of the first semester of General Chemistry. The textbook associated with this homework is CHEMISTRY The Central Science by Brown, LeMay, et.al. The last edition I required students to buy was the 12th edition (CHEMISTRY The Central Science, 12th ed. by Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy and Woodward), but any edition of this text will do for this course.

Note: You are expected to go to the end of chapter problems in your textbook, find similar questions, and work out those problems as well. This is just the required list of problems for quiz purposes. You should also study the Exercises within the chapters. The exercises are worked out examples of the questions at the back of the chapter. The study guide also has worked out examples.

These are bare-bones questions. The textbook questions will have additional information that may be useful and that connects the problems to real life applications, many of them in biology.

Why do we sometimes use roman numerals in naming ionic compounds?
Blababa [14]
Roman numerals are used in naming ionic compounds when the metal cation forms more than one ion. The metals that form more than one ion are the transition metals, although not all of them do this.
