Why would you add a catalyst to something

Chemistry
1 answer:
tekilochka [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

If this related to science, then you would add a catalyst to speed up a reaction.

Explanation:

The definition of a catalyst is: "a substance that causes or accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being affected".

Examples of this include the enzymes in our stomach acid that aid in digestion.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:The correct answer is option C.

Explanation;

Water has unique property that is, it expands on freezing.Which is the reason for less density of ice than water. The cracking of the bottle was due to the expansion of water (present inside the bottle) on freezing.

Generally, density is inversely proportional to the volume of the substance.

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Density\propto \frac{1}{Volume}

As we know ,that water expands on freezing which means that volume increases. And with increase in volume of density decreases.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Answer:

Iron remains = 17.49 mg

Explanation:

Half life of iron -55 = 2.737 years (Source)

t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}

Where, k is rate constant

So,  

k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac {ln\ 2}{2.737}\ year^{-1}

The rate constant, k = 0.2533 year⁻¹

Time = 2.41 years

[A_0] = 32.2 mg

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

So,  

[A_t]=32.2\times e^{-0.2533\times 2.41}\ mg

[A_t]=32.2\times e^{-0.610453}\ mg

[A_t]=17.49\ mg

<u>Iron remains = 17.49 mg</u>

In a 0.01 M solution of 1,4-butanedicarboxylic acid, HOOCCH2CH2COOH (Ka1 = 2.9 x 10-5,
azamat

Answer:

The correct answer is B) HOOCCH2CH2COOH(aq)

Explanation:

Both Ka1 and Ka2 are low, so the acid will dissociate only slightly into HOOCCH2CH2COO- ions and even more slightly into -OOCCH2CH2COO- ions. The concentration of hydronium ions (H₃O⁺) will be consequently low. The species that will be in the highest concentration will be HOOCCH2CH2COOH (the weak acid not dissociated).

The Lewis structure of which molecule requires resonance structures?A.) MgCl2B.) SiO2C.) SO2D.) OCl2
inna [77]

Answer:  C.) SO2

Explanation:  Sulfur Dioxide is the gaseous molecule which can show the resonance through lewis dot structure due to the presence of lone pairs of electrons present on all of the three atoms of the molecules. Moreover , Sulphur forms pie bond with the oxygen using p orbitals which forms a network of the conjugated system that help to elaborate the reason of the formation of the resonance structure.

Options (a), (b), and (d) cannot form resonating structures as they involve the formation of the chemical bonds through single sigma bond.
