<span>In chemistry, a catalyst can speed up the reaction (or make it initiate easier) by altering the activation energy, lowering it enough to allow the reactants to react more easily. Some negative catalysts or inhibitors can do the same by increasing the activation energy.

Answer:
The smallest unit of a compound is a molecule, which is made up of atoms held together by bonds.
Answer:
the answer is A
Explanation:
because abiotic things are non-living things
Answer:
Sodium ion ( Na+) is known to have no smell at all but however appears salty which is the reason why the compound Sodium Chloride has the same type of taste.
Hydrogen ions ( H+) are known to have no taste which implies it being tasteless. It is also important to note that it has no smell too when perceived (odorless).
<span>5.5×10−2M in calcium chloride and 8.0×10−2M in magnesium nitrate.
What mass of sodium phosphate must be added to 1.5L of this solution to completely eliminate the hard water ion
1) Content of Ca (2+) ions
Calcium chloride = CaCl2
Ionization equation: CaCl2 ---> Ca (2+) + 2 Cl (-)
=> Molar ratios: 1 mol of CaCl2 : 1 mol Ca(2+) : 2 mol Cl(-)
Calculate the number of moles of CaCl2 in 1.5 liters of 5.5 * 10^-2 M solution
M = n / V => n = M*V = 5.5 * 10^ -2 M * 1.5 l = 0.0825 mol CaCl2
=> 0.0825 mol Ca(2+)
2) Number of phosphate ions needed to react with 0.0825 mol Ca(2+)
formula of phospahte ion: PO4 (3-)
molar ratio: 2PO4(3-) + 3Ca(2+) = Ca3 (PO4)2
Proportion: 2 mol PO4(3-) / 3 mol Ca(2+) = x / 0.0825 mol Ca(2+)
=> x = 0.0825 coml Ca(2+) * 2 mol PO4(3-) / 3 mol Ca(2+) = 0.055 mol PO4(3-)
3) Content of Mg(2+) ions
Ionization equation: Mg (NO3)2 ----> Mg(2+) + 2 NO3 (-)
Molar ratios: 1 mol Mg(NO3)2 : 1 mol Mg(2+) + 2 mol NO3(-)
number of moles of Mg(NO3)2 in 1.5 liter of 8.0 * 10^-2 M solution
n = M * V = 8.0 * 10^ -2 M * 1.5 liter = 0.12 moles Mg(NO3)2
ions of Mg(2+) = 0.12 mol Mg(NO3)2 * 1 mol Mg(2+) / mol Mg(NO3)2 = 0.12 mol Mg(2+)
4) Number of phosphate ions needed to react with 0.12 mol Mg(2+)
2PO4(3-) + 3Mg(2+) = Mg3(PO4)2
=> 2 mol PO4(3-) / 3 mol Mg(2+) = x / 0.12 mol Mg(2+)
=> x = 0.12 * 2/3 mol PO4(3-) = 0.16 mol PO4(3-)
5) Total number of moles of PO4(3-)
0.055 mol + 0.16 mol = 0.215 mol
6) Sodium phosphate
Sodium phosphate = Na3(PO4)
Na3PO4 ---> 3Na(+) + PO4(3-)
=> 1 mol Na3PO4 : 1 mol PO4(3-)
=> 0.215 mol PO4(3-) : 0.215 mol Na3PO4
mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass
molar mass of Na3 PO4 = 3*23 g/mol + 31 g/mol + 4*16 g/mol = 164 g/mol
=> mass in grams = 0.215 mol * 164 g/mol = 35.26 g
Answer: 35.26 g of sodium phosphate
