The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2(aq)) is proposed to follow a reaction mechanism of: Step 1: H2O2(aq) + Br–(aq)→H2O(

l) + BrO–(aq) Step 2: BrO–(aq) + H2O2(aq)→H2O(l) + O2(g) + Br–(aq) What is the catalyst, and what is the effect of having a catalyst present? Question 15 options: 1) Br– is the catalyst, and the reaction follows a faster pathway with Br– than without. 2) BrO– is the catalyst, and the reaction follows a faster pathway with BrO– than without. 3) Br– is the catalyst, and the reaction follows a slower pathway with Br– than without. 4) BrO– is the catalyst, and the reaction follows a slower pathway with BrO– than without.

Answer:

Option (1) Br– is the catalyst, and the reaction follows a faster pathway with Br– than without

Explanation:

Let us consider the equation below:

Step 1:

H2O2(aq) + Br–(aq) → H2O(l) + BrO–(aq)

Step 2:

BrO–(aq) + H2O2(aq) → H2O(l) + O2(g) + Br–(aq)

From the above equation, we can see that Br– is unchanged.

This implies that Br– is the catalyst as catalyst does not take part in a chemical reaction but they create an alternate pathway to lower the activation energy in order for the reaction to proceed at a much faster rate to arrive at the products.

How many liters of water vapor are in 36.21 g?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

45.02 L.

Explanation:  

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of water vapor.
  • n = mass / molar mass = (36.21 g) / (18.0 g/mol) = 2.01 mol.
  • We can calculate the volume of knowing that 1.0 mole of a gas at STP occupies 22.4 L.

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

1.0 mole of CO occupies → 22.4 L.

2.01 mole of CO occupies → ??? L.

∴ The volume of water vapor in 36.21 g = (22.4 L)(2.01 mole) / (1.0 mole) = 45.02 L.

Choose the following statements that show evidence for a chemical reaction.
Leno4ka [110]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction in which bonds between the reactants either break or form which leads to the formation of a new substance.

For example, 2Li + Cl_{2} \rightarrow 2LiCl

So, when we drop a sodium metal into water then it produces a frizzing sound which shows the metal is reacting with water.

We know that when two aqueous solutions chemically react with each other then it may lead to the formation of an insoluble substance which is known as precipitate.

This means that formation of a precipitate is also a chemical reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that following are the statements which show evidence for a chemical reaction.

  • Dropping sodium metal into water produces fizzing.
  • Mixing two aqueous solutions produces a precipitate.
