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.

The radius of an atom of gold (Au) is about 1.35 Å.
Eduardwww [97]
Two radius of an atom is equal to the diameter. Adding up all the diameter of  the atoms, it should be equal to 9.5 mm. Therefore, we simply convert the units to the same units then divide 1.35 A to 9.5 mm. We calculate as follows:

no. of atoms = 0.0095 m / 1.35x10^-9 m = 7037037 atoms 

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Whose work is credited with being the beginning of the modern atomic theory​
Damm [24]
Democritus (460-370 BC) was a Greek philosopher who theorized that all matter could be reduced to particles that could not be divided, which he described as “atomos.”

John Dalton (1766-1844) Proposed the atomic theory.

Indicate if the following statements are TRUE (T) or FALSE (F):
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a) T

b) T

c) F

d) F

e) T

f) T

g) T

h) F

I) F

j) F

k) F

l) F

Explanation:

The w/v concentration is obtained from, mass/volume. Hence;

%w/v= 50/1000= 5%

In the %w/w we have;

25g/100 g = 25% w/w

In combustion reaction, energy is given out hence it is exothermic.

Neutralization reaction yields a salt and water

% by mass of carbon is obtained from;

8× 12/114 × 100 = 84.1%

All the ionic substances mentioned have very low solubility in water.

One mole of a substance contains the Avogadro's number of each atom in the compound.

There are two iron atoms so one mole contains 2× 55.85 g of iron.

Some sulphates such as BaSO4 are insoluble in water.

Halides are soluble in water hence NaI is soluble in water.

The equation does not balance with the given coefficients because the number of atoms of each element on both sides differ.

The equation represents a decomposition of calcium carbonate as written.
