<span>A substance that accelerates the rate of chemical reaction is called a catalyst. It serves as an alternative pathway for the reaction product. The increase of rate of chemical reaction is because catalyst has low activiation energy than the original pathway. The low activation energy will increase the amount of molecules that can benefit in the energy created by the catalyst.</span>
To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy through the heat transferred and the work done, as well as through the calculation of entropy due to heat and temperatra.
By definition we know that the change in entropy is given by

Where,
Q = Heat transfer
T = Temperature
On the other hand we know that by conserving energy the work done in a system is equal to the change in heat transferred, that is

According to the data given we have to,




PART A) The total change in entropy, would be given by the changes that exist in the source and sink, that is



On the other hand,



The total change of entropy would be,



Since
the heat engine is not reversible.
PART B)
Work done by heat engine is given by



Therefore the work in the system is 100000Btu
A particle that is smaller than an atom or a cluster of particles.
Answer:
1,373.4 N
Explanation:
The mass of the table acts at the centre in addition to the books since that is the centre of gravity of the table.
Mass of books will be 10kg+20kg+30kg=60 kg
Total mass of table and books will be 500kg+60kg=560 kg
This mass is evenly distributed into the four legs hence 560kg/4 legs=140 kg per leg
Force is product of mass and acceleration due to gravity hence F=gm
Taking g as 9.81 m/s2 then
F=140*9.81=1,373.4 N
Therefore, rhe normal force is equivalent to 1,373.4 N
