Answer:

The second run will be faster - true, the increased surface area of catalyst will increase the rate of reaction

The second run will have the same rate as the first - possible, in case there is a factor other than catalyst limiting the reaction

The second run has twice the surface area - yes, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm

Explanation:

A catalyst is a material which speeds up a reaction without being consumed in the process. A heterogeneous catalyst is one which is of a different phase than the reactants. The effectiveness of a catalyst is dependent on the available surface area. The first step for this question is to determine the total available surface area of catalyst in both processes.

Step 1: Determine radius of large sphere

V_{L}=\frac{4}{3}*pi*{r_{L}}^{3}

10=\frac{4}{3}*pi*{r_{L}}^{3}

{r_{L}}^{3}=\frac{7.5}{pi}

r_{L}=1.337cm

Step 2: Determine surface area of large sphere

A_{L}=4*pi*{r_{L}}^{2}

A_{L}=4*pi*1.337^{2}

A_{L}=22.463 cm^{2}

Step 3: Determine radius of small sphere

V_{s}=\frac{4}{3}*pi*{r_{s}}^{3}

1.25=\frac{4}{3}*pi*{r_{s}}^{3}

{r_{s}}^{3}=\frac{0.9375}{pi}

r_{s}=0.668cm

Step 4: Determine surface area of small sphere

A_{s}=4*pi*{r_{s}}^{2}

A_{s}=4*pi*0.668^{2}

A_{s}=5.607 cm^{2}

Step 5: Determine total surface area of 8 small spheres

A_{S}=8*A_{s}

A_{S}=8*5.607

A_{S}=44.856 cm^{2}

A_{L}=22.463 cm^{2} - Surface area of 1 large sphere

A_{S}=44.856 cm^{2} - Surface area of 8 small spheres

Options:

  1. The second run will be faster - true, the increased surface area of catalyst will increase the rate of reaction
  2. The second run will be slower - false, the increased surface area of catalyst will increase the rate of reaction
  3. The second run will have the same rate as the first - possible, in case there is a factor other than catalyst limiting the reaction
  4. The second run has twice the surface area - yes, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm
  5. The second run has eight times the surface area - no, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm
  6. The second run has 10 times the surface area - no, 44 sqcm to 22 sqcm

Answer:

a. The second run will be faster

d. The second run has twice the surface area

Explanation:

The velocity of a chemical reaction can be changed by some factors, the principal is the temperature, the concentration, the presence of a catalyst and the contact surface.

As higher is the temperature, as higher will be the velocity, because the molecules will have higher energy, and because of that will collide more frequently.

As higher is the concentration of the reactants, as higher will be the velocity, because, with more molecules, the collisions will happen more frequently.

A catalyst reduces the activation energy, thus the reaction occurs faster.

As higher is the contact surface, as higher will be the velocity because the collision will happen more efficiently between the molecules. As more split is the substance, as higher is the surface area. So, by broken the catalyst, the reaction will be faster.

For a sphere, the volume can be calculated by:

V = (4/3)*πr³, where r is the radius

And the surface area by:

S = 4πr²

So, when the volume is 10.0 cm³, the radius is:

10 = (4/3)*π*r³

4*π*r³ = 30

r³ = 2.3873

r = ∛2.3873

r = 1.3365 cm

Thus the contact surface will be:

S = 4*π*(1.3365)²

S = 22.45 cm²

When the sphere is broken, each piece has a volume of 1.25 cm³, thus the radius will be:

1.25 = (4/3)*π*r³

4πr³ = 3.75

r³ = 0.2984

r = ∛0.2984

r = 0.6682 cm

The contact surface will be 8 times the surface of one piece, thus:

S = 8*4*π*(0.6682)²

S = 44.90 cm²

Which is twice the area of the first run.

Is matter continuous and therefore has no finer structure or is it discontinuous and thus made or tiny particles
Marta_Voda [28]

Matter is discontinuous, and it is made of tiny particles called atoms

Explanation:

Matter is not a continuous structure, but it consists of tiny particles called atoms.

An atom consists of three types of particles:

  • Proton: the proton is in the nucleus of the atom. it has a positive electric charge of +1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C (also called fundamental charge). Its mass is 1.67\cdot 10^{-27}kg.
  • Neutron: the neutron is also in the nucleus of the atom, but it has no electric charge. Its mass is similar to the mass of the proton (slightly heavier). Neutrons and protons are held together in the nucleus through the strong nuclear force.
  • Electron: electrons are found in a "cloud" outside the nucleus. Electron has negative electric charge equal to -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C. Its mass is much approximately 1800 times smaller than that of the proton, so it is considered as negligible.

the peak intensity of radiation for a particular star occurs at a wavelength of 2.0 nanometers and what spectral band is this
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
For a given peak intensity of radiation of a star that occurs at a wavelength of 2 nanometers, this is located at the spectral band of an X-ray. An X-ray's wavelength typically goes from 0.1 nano meters to 10 nano meters. Given that, the wavelength of the star fits perfectly into the range of an X-ray
