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 does increasing and decreasing the temperature affect the kinetic energy of molecules? How does this impact heat
coldgirl [10]

Answer: As the temperature of a molecular system increases, the kinetic energy of molecules also increase. Also as the temperature of a molecular system decreases, the kinetic energy of the molecules will also decrease.

Explanation:

James Clerk Maxwell developed the kinetic-molecular theory (KMT) of gases. In this theoey, five assumptions concerning an ideal gas was made. One of the them was that," the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to the temperature of the gas". This simply means that a s the temperature of a molecular system increases, the kinetic energy of molecules also increase. Also as the temperature of a molecular system decreases, the kinetic energy of the molecules will also decrease.

Also another scientist known as Rudolf Clausius incorporated energy into the kinetic theory. He proposed that heat is a form of energy that affects the temperature of matter by changing the motion of molecules in matter.

Heat is defined as the flow of energy which is caused by difference in temperature.

In conclusion, when the temperature of a system is increased, the collision of the molecules with one another and the walls of their container increases as more molecules gain more heat energy at higher temperature. While as the temperature of the system decreases, the collision of the molecules will also decrease as molecules lose heat energy at lower temperature.

When 3.00 moles of hydrogen molecules and 1.50 moles of oxygen molecules react, they form 3.00 moles of water
bearhunter [10]

Mass of Oxygen required : 24 grams

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

3 moles of H

1.5 moles of O

3 moles of H₂O

Required

Mass of O

Solution

Reaction

2H₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2H₂O

Mass of Oxygen for 1.5 moles of O :

= mol x Ar O

= 1.5 moles x 16 g/mol

= 24 grams

How many kilograms are in 4 moles of Na2CO3?
castortr0y [4]
First you need to find the amount of mass of Na2CO3 in one moles
(Use periodic chart)

Na= 22.99 x 2 = 45.98
C = 12.01
O = 16.00 x 4 = 64.00

Add the molar masses together to get 121.99

To find how many grams are in 4 moles, times 121.99 by 4
This gives you 487.96

But the questions asks for the answer to be in kilograms nor grams, to change into kilograms divide by 1000
This gets you the answer: 0.49 kg
