A. the moon's gravitational pull on earth causes water to bulge on two sides of the earth
Physical because it is still H2O
Answer: Options (a) and (d) are the correct answer.
Explanation:
A catalyst is the substance which helps in increasing the rate of reaction.
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by reactants to start the reaction. On addition of catalyst, the path of reaction changes because the energy barrier gap reduces and hence, the activation energy also decreases.
In the absence of catalyst, we need to increase the temperature so that reaction can occur quickly.
Whereas on addition of catalyst, there is no need to increase the temperature as the catalyst itself is sufficient to increase the rate of reaction. As a result, temperature should be lowered when there is addition of catalyst in the reaction.
Thus, we can conclude that catalysts can save money by essentially lowering the activation energy and temperature required.
A chemical reaction does happen between sodium and water to form Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Hydrogen Gas (H-2)
Answer : The energy removed must be, 29.4 kJ
Explanation :
The process involved in this problem are :

The expression used will be:
![Q=[m\times c_{p,l}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]+[m\times \Delta H_{fusion}]+[m\times c_{p,s}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q%3D%5Bm%5Ctimes%20c_%7Bp%2Cl%7D%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-T_%7Binitial%7D%29%5D%2B%5Bm%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7Bfusion%7D%5D%2B%5Bm%5Ctimes%20c_%7Bp%2Cs%7D%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-T_%7Binitial%7D%29%5D)
where,
= heat released for the reaction = ?
m = mass of benzene = 94.4 g
= specific heat of solid benzene = 
= specific heat of liquid benzene = 
= enthalpy change for fusion = 
Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:
![Q=[94.4g\times 1.73J/g.K\times (279-322)K]+[94.4g\times -125.6J/g]+[94.4g\times 1.51J/g.K\times (205-279)K]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q%3D%5B94.4g%5Ctimes%201.73J%2Fg.K%5Ctimes%20%28279-322%29K%5D%2B%5B94.4g%5Ctimes%20-125.6J%2Fg%5D%2B%5B94.4g%5Ctimes%201.51J%2Fg.K%5Ctimes%20%28205-279%29K%5D)

Negative sign indicates that the heat is removed from the system.
Therefore, the energy removed must be, 29.4 kJ
