Answer:

c. Z is a catalyst, and ZA2 and A are reaction intermediates.

Explanation:

Overall reaction is given as;

A2 + 2 B → 2 BA

Mechanism:

Step 1: A2 + Z → ZA2

Step 2: ZA2 + B → BA + Z + A

Step 3: A + B → BA

The options given are centered upon catalysts and reaction intermediates. So before proceeding, we have to understand the difference between the two and how to identify them.

A catalyst is basically a reaction booster to speed up the rate of the reaction and the reaction intermediate is an unstable, temporl species formed from the reactants before getting to the products.

The difference is given as;

Catalysts are present as reactants in the very beginning and products at the end of the reaction.

Intermediates, on the other hand, are not present in the initial reaction but are produced within one of the steps and then consumed within another step.

Following the above, we can deduce that;

Z is a catalyst because it is present as a reactant in the beginning.

ZA2 and A are a reaction intermediates because they are not present in the overall reaction but are produced and consumed in one of the steps.

Correct option is given as;

c. Z is a catalyst, and ZA2 and A are reaction intermediates.

What is the molality (m) of a solution that contains 76.5 g of KCl dissolved in 85.0 g of<br> water?
ladessa [460]

Answer:

76.5g KCl/74.55 grams per mole Kcl = x

molality= x/.085 kg H2O

Explanation:

well remember molality is moles of solute/kilograms of solvent. So it's the moles of KCl over 85 g of h20 converted into kg. if this makes sense.

7. Complete the concept map below.
Ilya [14]

Drainage that is not handled properly can cause an increase in erosion, changes in stormwater runoff, flooding, and damage to water quality.

<h3>Natural Disaster?</h3>
  • Large-scale geological or meteorological phenomena that have the potential to cause loss of life or property are considered natural disasters.
  • Tornadoes and severe storms are examples of these catastrophes. Tropical Storms and Hurricanes. Floods.
  • They release significant amounts of gas and dust into the atmosphere, particularly the upper atmosphere, which temporarily alters the climate on Earth.
  • Large volcanic eruptions should be followed by a drop in the average surface temperature, which is actually seen and lasts for typically 1 to 3 years.
  • Deforestation and the combustion of fossil fuels have detrimental environmental effects that directly affect the biosphere. Pollutant emissions and carbon dioxide have a negative impact on all types of life.

Which equations shows the complete dissociation of a strong base?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
The correct answer is the fourth option. The complete dissociation of a strong base is BOH + h20 -> B+ + OH- + H20 since this is the only base from the choices given. A base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions.
