Answer:

Platinum is a Heterogeneous catalyst  

Explanation:

Catalyst are substance that speed up the rate of a chemical reaction . Catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering it activation energy. During the reaction, the catalyst are not consumed. In other words, catalyst does not change in amount as it does not go into the reaction.

Catalyst can be homogeneous or heterogeneous . A homogeneous catalyst is one which phase(liquid or gas) is same as the reactant phase. Heterogeneous catalyst are catalyst which phase(solid) is different from the reactants phase.      

From the reaction above

2H2O(aq)    Pt(s)→    2H2O(l) + O2(g)

Platinum is at the solid phase which is a different phase from the reactant(Hydrogen peroxide) which is Aqueous.

Since platinum is of a different phase , it is a heterogeneous catalyst.

Answer:

Heterogeneous

Explanation:

The catalyst, Pt, is not in the same phase as the reactants, i.e. it is solid, whilst the hydrogen peroxide is aqueous.

How many grams of ag can be formed from 5.50 grams of ag2o in the equation: 2ag2o (s) → 4ag (s) o2 (g)?
oee [108]

From the given balanced equation we have find out the amount (in gm) of Ag formed from 5.50 gm of Ag₂O.

2Ag₂O(s) → 4Ag (s) + O₂ (g)

We know, molecular mass of Ag₂O= 231.7 g/mol, and atomic mass of Ag= 107.8 g/mol. Given, mass of Ag₂O=5.50 gm. Number moles of Ag₂O=\frac{5.50}{231.7}= 0.0237 moles.

From the balanced chemical reaction we get 2 (two) moles of Ag₂O produces 4 (four) moles of Ag. So, 0.0237 moles of Ag₂O produces \frac{4X0.0237}{2} moles=0.0474 moles of Ag= 0.0474 X 107.8 g of Ag=5.11g Ag.

Therefore, 5.50 g Ag₂O produces 5.11 g of Ag as per the given balanced chemical reaction.
