Answer: D: By decreasing the activation energy

Explanation: A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a reaction by taking the reaction through a different path which involves lower activation energy and thus more molecules can cross the energy barrier and convert to products.

Activation energy is the extra energy that must be supplied to reactants in order to cross the energy barrier and thus convert to products.

The catalyst itself does not take part in the chemical reaction and is regenerated as such at the end.

Almost all catalysts work by lowering the activation energy of the reaction with no change in the free energy of the reaction 

- So in this case we can say that palladium  reduce automobile pollution by catalyzing the reaction between un-burned hydrocarbons and oxygen :

D. by decreasing the activation energy

What is the indicator of the number of ions in solution?
Andru [333]

Answer:

The amount of solute added.

Explanation:

The amount of solute added is directly proportional to the number of ions.

The higher the amount added the higher the number of moles.

The number of moles is multiplied by the Avogadro's constant to get the number ions.

No of ions= No of moles × L

L is the Avogadro's number.

Calculate the mass of Cr(ClO2)2 that contains 5.57 × 10<br> ^22 chlorine atoms.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Your strategy here will be to

use the chemical formula of carbon dioxide to find the number of molecules of

CO

2

that would contain that many atoms of oxygen

use Avogadro's constant to convert the number of molecules to moles of carbon dioxide

use the molar mass of carbon dioxide to convert the moles to grams

So, you know that one molecule of carbon dioxide contains

one atom of carbon,

C

two atoms of oxygen,

2

O

This means that the given number of atoms of oxygen would correspond to

Now, one mole of any molecular substance contains exactly

In your case, the sample of carbon dioxide molecules contains

⋅

1 mole CO

Finally, carbon dioxide has a molar mass of

What type of stress results when two plates push against one another?
Natasha2012 [34]

When two plates push against each other shear stress will happem because they move in opposite directions. In this case the force of the stress pushes some of the crust in different directions. When this happens, a large part of the crust can break off, which makes the plate size smaller.

calculate the ph for each case in the titration of 50.0 ml of 0.130 m hclo(aq) with 0.130 m koh(aq). use the ionization constant
-BARSIC- [3]

The ph before the addition of any Koh is<u> 10.105.</u>

Concentration is the abundance of a constituent divided by way of the overall volume of an aggregate. several sorts of mathematical descriptions may be outstanding: mass concentration, molar concentration, variety concentration, and extent awareness.

After the addition of 50 ml KOH,

moles of KOH = 50 * 0.13 =<u> 6.5 mmol </u>

<u>moles </u><u>of HClO = 50 * 0.13 = 6.5 mmol </u>

occurred hydrolysis solution,

pH = 0.5(14 + pKa + log [base conjugate])

pH = 0.5(14 + (- log (4 * 10^-8)) + log (6.5/(50 + 50)))

pH = <u>10.105</u>

The concentration of a substance is the quantity of solute found in a given amount of solution. Concentrations are normally expressed in terms of molarity, defined because of the variety of moles of solute in 1 L of answer.

The Concentration of an answer is a measure of the quantity of solute that has been dissolved in a given amount of solvent or answer. A concentrated answer is one that has a rather huge quantity of dissolved solute.
