The reaction below can be catalyzed by manganese dioxide (MnO2). If you carried out such a reaction, which compound would you ex
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
2H₂O₂ ⟶ 2H₂O + O₂
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a reaction but can be recovered unchanged at the end.
Thus, at the end of the reaction I would expect to find H₂O and MnO₂ in the container.
Water is not listed in any of the options, so I will have to choose .
A, B, and D are wrong. They are not reactants, products, or catalysts.

Answer:
1, 2, and 3 are true.
Explanation:
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is:
pH = pka + log₁₀
- If the pH of the solution is known as is the pKa for the acid, the ratio of conjugate base to acid can be determined. <em>TRUE</em>
pH = pka + log₁₀
If you know pH and pka:
10^(pH-pka) =
The ratio will be: 10^(pH-pka)
- At pH = pKa for an acid, [conjugate base] = [acid] in solution. <em>TRUE</em>
pH = pka + log₁₀
0 = log₁₀
10^0 =
1 =
As ratio is 1, [conjugate base] = [acid] in solution.
- At pH >> pKa for an acid, the acid will be mostly ionized. <em>TRUE</em>
pH = pka + log₁₀
If pH >> pKa, 10^(pH-pka) will be >> 1, that means that you have more [A⁻] than [HA]
- At pH << pKa for an acid, the acid will be mostly ionized. <em>FALSE</em>
pH = pka + log₁₀
If pH << pKa, 10^(pH-pka) will be << 1, that means that you have more [HA] than [A⁻]
I hope it helps!
