Answer:

The catalyst speeds up the chemical reaction.

Explanation:

The process in which chemical reaction rate increases by addition of substance is termed as a catalyst. The chemical reaction happens faster when a catalyst is present because it gives an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy.

The catalyst usually forms a temporary intermediate that helps in regenerating the original catalyst in the cyclic process. Yeast when added in a mixture work as a catalyst and helps with chemical reaction.

A solution of sodium chloride is mixed with a solution of lead(II) nitrate. A precipitate of lead(II) chloride results, leaving
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Double displacement reaction

Explanation:

The chemical reaction is as follows :

NaCl + Pb(NO3)2 → PbCl + NaNO3.

Balanced equation:

Pb(NO3)2 + 2NaCl → PbCl2 + 2NaNO3

The reaction is a double displacement reaction . A double displacement reaction is a chemical reaction between compound where the cations and the anions of the 2 reactants exchange places to form a new product.

Double displacement reaction, the 2 reactants exchange ions to form new compounds. Double displacement reaction usually produce a solid precipitate. A good illustration of a double displacement reaction is

AB + CD → AD + CB.

From the reaction above the Sodium ion replace lead to from sodium nitrate while lead replace sodium to form the precipitate lead chloride.  The anions(negatively charged ions) also exchange position.

In an aqueous solution which substance yields hydrogen ions as the only positive ion *
GenaCL600 [577]
The question is incomplete. Complete question is
<span>In an aqueus solution, which substance yields hydrogen ions as the only positive ions in the solution? 1)NaH 2)HCOOH 3)LiOH 4) CH3CH2OH?
.............................................................................................................................
Answer: Correct answer is option 2, HCOOH

Reason: 
HCOOH is a formic acid. When mixed in water, it undergoes dissociation which can be represented as

HCOOH         </span>↔           HCOO-       +            H+

The compound NaH, will generate hydride ion (H-), while LiOH is an ionic compound, hence when dissolved in water it generated OH- ions. The compound CH3CH2OH is named as ethyl alcohol. This compound donot dissociate in aqueous medium.

A computer monitor uses 200 W of power. How much energy does it use in<br> 10 seconds?
andriy [413]

Answer:

2000 Joules.

Explanation:

Wattage = Energy / t

Energy is in joules

wattage is in watts

t is in seconds.

W = 200 watts

E = ????

t = 10 seconds

E = W * t

E = 200 * 10

E = 2000 Joules
