Answer: A. To change the potential energy of the reactants.

Explanation:
Catalysts make such a breaking and rebuilding happen more efficiently. They do this by lowering the activation energy for the chemical reaction. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed to allow the chemical reaction to occur. The catalyst just changes the path to the new chemical partnership.

A soft silvery metal has two naturally occurring isotopes: mass 84.9118, accounting for 72.15% and mass 86.9092, accounting for

zloy xaker [14]

Answer: The atomic weight of the metal would be 85.47.

Explanation:

Mass of isotope 1 of metal = 84.9118

% abundance of isotope 1 of metal = 72.15% = $\frac{72.15}{100}$

Mass of isotope 2 of metal= 86.9092

% abundance of isotope 2 of metal = 27.85% = $\frac{27.85}{100}$

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

$\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})$

$A=\sum[(84.9118)\times \frac{72.15}{100})+(86.9092)\times \frac{27.85}{100}]]$

$A=85.47$

Therefore, the atomic weight of the metal would be 85.47.

***BRAINLIEST ASNWERRR***<br>How many grams are in 34.2 moles of Lithium (Li)?

Step2247 [10]

Mass of Li = 237.38 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The mole itself is the number of particles contained in a substance amounting to 6.02.10²³

$\large {\boxed {\boxed {\bold {mol = \frac {mass} {molar \: mass}}}}$

<h3>Known</h3>

Moles of Li = 34.2

Molar mass(MW) of Li = 6.941 g/mol

then mass of Lithium (Li) :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=34.2\times 6,941~g/mol\\\\mass=\boxed{\bold{237.38~g}}$
