Answer:

Catalyst is referred to as the substance used in the reaction to speed up or to increase the efficiency of the reaction. the catalyst itself does not alter any change during the reaction. As catalyst itself is not the reactant or product thus it does not appear in a chemical reaction

Explanation:

Catalyst is referred to as the substance used in the reaction to speed up or to increase the efficiency of the reaction. the catalyst itself does not alter any change during the reaction. As catalyst itself is not the reactant or product thus it does not appear in a chemical reaction

In a chemical reaction, the catalyst is used to decrease the activation energy thus to provide or enhance the reaction mechanism to the reaction.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Combustion reaction

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry</u>

  • Synthesis Reactions: A + B → AB
  • Decomposition Reactions: AB → A + B
  • Single-Replacement Reactions: A + BC → AB + C
  • Double-Replacement Reactions: AB + CD → AD + BC

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ → 2H₂O + 4CO₂

<u>Step 2: Identify</u>

Any organic molecule reacting with oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide is a combustion reaction.

We also see from the RxN that is is a double replacement reaction.

An ice cube is dropped into a glass of milk at 20°C. Which statement explains the transfer of kinetic energy (KE)?
earnstyle [38]
I think the correct answer is A. Since milk has a higher KE than the ice cubes, KE is being transferred from the milk to the molecules of ice which increases the kinetic energy of the molecules of ice.Consequently, it raises the temperature of the ice while lowering the temperature of the milk until they reach equilibrium at a final temperature.
