How does a catalyst speed up a chemical reaction

Chemistry
2 answers:

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.

Draw a line-bond structure for CBrN. Explicitly draw all H atoms. You do not have to include lone pairs in your answer. In cases
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Br - C ≡ N

Explanation:

To draw the Lewis line-bond structure we need to bear in mind the octet rule, which states that in order to gain stability each <em>atom tends to share electrons until it has 8 electrons in its valence shell</em>.

  • C has 4 e⁻ in its valence shell so it will form 4 covalent bonds.
  • Br has 7 e⁻ in its valence shell so it will form 1 covalent bond.
  • N has 5 e⁻ in its valence shell so it will form 3 covalent bonds.

The most stable structure that respects these premises is:

Br - C ≡ N

It does not have any H atom.

When the forces acting on the object are balanced the object will?​
Volgvan

Answer:

When two forces acting on an object are of similar size but acting in opposite directions, we say they are forces of balance. If the forces on an object are balanced (or if there are no forces acting on it), this is what happens: the object stays stationary
