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 eventually happens to a gas if its pressure is increased?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

According to Boyle's law pressure of a particular amount of gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas. So, when we increase the pressure of the gas the volume of the gas decrease and the gas start to condense.

Given the 1H and 13C data below, which isomers of C8H11N fit the spectral data? 13C NMR: δ 17.2, 20.4, 115.1, 122.4, 137.3, 127.
iogann1982 [59]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first , second , third and fourth

Answer:

The compound that fit the spectra data are compound B, E and H as shown in the question

Explanation:

From the question we are given that the 13C NMR data is  

          13C NMR: 17.2,20.4,115.1,122.4,137.3,127.6,131.1,142.1 pmm

From the spectral diagram on the question we can see that the signal at 17.2 ppm and 20.4 ppm indicates the presence of two different sp^{3} carbon atoms.

Also the signals at 115.1 , 122.4 , 137.3, 127.6,131.1,142.1 ppm indicates the molecule with six different sp^{2} carbon atoms.

Thus , the compound with two different sp^{3}  carbon atoms and six different sp^{2} carbon atoms are shown on the third uploaded image

Now let us take a look at the 1H NMR as follows

For NMR spectra the integration values are in the ration 1.99:1.00:2.19: 5.93

Now we can look at this above ratio like this 2:1:2:6 by reduction

Hence the relative number of proton is in the ratio of 2H: 1H: 2H: 6H

2H at 6-7 ppm and 1H at 6-7 ppm are due to the presence of three aromatic proton which are present on the benzene ring.

2H at 3.5 ppm are due to proton in amino group NH_{2} protons.

6H gives two signals at 2.2 ppm due to the presence of the two CH_{3}  protons

The compound A is not matched with 1 H  NMR spectra, thus remove the compound A .The other compounds are B,E,F

Thus ,the compound with the proton in the ratio 2H : 1H :2H : 6H are shown on the fourth uploaded image

Hence the compounds with the given NMR spectra are B,E and H

2. A stretched rubber band is released and flies across the room. What is the energy transformation?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

potential energy to kinetic energy

Explanation:

In this system, the energy transformation is from potential energy to kinetic energy.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

When the rubber band is stretched, it stores elastic potential energy. This energy is transformed to kinetic energy as it is release and it begins its motion.

Therefore, potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy.
