Answer:
A catalytic converter changes nitrogen dioxide to nitrogen gas and oxygen gas is a chemical change.
Explanation:
Hello.
In this case, since physical changes do not modify the molecular composition and structure of the material undergoing it whereas the chemical change does, for catalytic converters we should know they promote chemical reaction in which the composition is changed; for instance, for the given example, the following chemical reaction is the evidence:
As you can see, nitrogen and oxygen are no longer bonded but separated by themselves, therefore, this is a chemical change.
Best regards.

Answer:
588.2 mL
Explanation:
- FeSO₄(aq) + 2KOH(aq) → Fe(OH)₂(s) + K₂SO₄(aq)
First we <u>calculate how many Fe⁺² moles reacted</u>, using the given <em>concentration and volume of FeSO₄ solution</em> (the number of FeSO₄ moles is equal to the number of Fe⁺² moles):
- moles = molarity * volume
- 187 mL * 0.692 M = 129.404 mmol Fe⁺²
Then we convert Fe⁺² moles to KOH moles, using the stoichiometric ratios:
- 129.404 mmol Fe⁺² *
= 258.808 mmol KOH
Finally we<u> calculate the required volume of KOH solution</u>, using <em>the given concentration and the calculated moles</em>:
- volume = moles / molarity
- 258.808 mmol KOH / 0.440 M = 588.2 mL
