Answer:

Adding a catalyst

Explanation:

  • Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction
  • A Catalyst is a material that increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy. In other words, a catalyst act to provide an alternative route for the reaction which has a lower activation energy.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy is defined as the minimum amount of energy required by reactants to initiate a chemical reaction.

A catalyst helps in increasing the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy barrier.

Whereas when we reduce the temperature then there will be decrease in energy of reactant molecules. On the other hand, increasing the temperature will increase the energy of reactants.

Increasing the surface area will not have any affect on activation energy.

Hence, we can conclude that increasing the surface area does not change the energy of the reactants relative to the activation energy.

White phosphorus is composed of tetrahedral molecules of P4 in which every P atom is connected to three other P atoms. In the Le
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

In the Lewis structure of P4 there are 6 bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.

Explanation:

The structure of tetrahedral molecule of P4 is provided below.

Each phosphorus atom has 5 valence electrons out of which 3 electrons involve in bonding and the rest 2 electrons exist as a lone pair that does not involve in bonding.Hence each phosphorus atom has one lone pair.In P4 molecule there are phosphorus atoms and hence 4 lone pairs in total.

As you can see in the figure, each phosphorus atom is bonded to the other three atoms.A bond is formed when two atoms share one electron each and the pair is called bonding pair.

From the figure we can see that there are 6 bonds in total.Each bond consist of one bonding pair of electrons and hence in total there are 6 bonding pairs of electrons.

Hence in a P4 molecule there are six bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.

12 Describe In your own words, describe the glassblowing process.
Vikentia [17]

Explanation:

To give the glass its final shape and size, it is blown into with a blowpipe, creating a sort of bubble of glass. To carry out this process, the blowpipe holding the glass must be placed on a steel stand. Then, the glass artist has to blow into the blowpipe while rotating it at the same

The pH of a 1.0M solution of butanoic acid HC4H7O2 is measured to be 2.41. Calculate the acid dissociation constant Ka of butano
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Ka = 1.52 E-5

Explanation:

  • CH3-(CH2)2-COOH ↔ CH3(CH2)2COO-  + H3O+

⇒ Ka = [H3O+][CH3)CH2)2COO-] / [CH3(CH2)2COOH]

mass balance:

⇒<em> C</em> CH3(CH2)2COOH = [CH3(CH2)2COO-] + [CH3(CH2)2COOH] = 1.0 M

charge balance:

⇒ [H3O+] = [CH3(CH2)2COO-]

⇒ Ka = [H3O+]²/(1 - [H3O+])

∴ pH = 2.41 = - Log [H3O+]

⇒ [H3O+] = 3.89 E-3 M

⇒ Ka = (3.89 E-3)² / ( 1 - 3.89 E-3 )

⇒ Ka = 1.519 E-5
