A catalyst "provides an alternate reaction pathway with a lower activation energy". (2) is the correct answer.

Activation energy is the energy needed to conduct a chemical reaction. When a catalyst is put into the system, it makes the system require less activation energy, making the reaction go faster.

Hope this is helpful~

Name two compounds with more exothermic lattice energies than scandium oxide and justify your choice.

N76 [4]

Answer:

1 . $Al_2O_3$

2. $TiO_2$

Explanation:

The more stable the ionic compound, the more is it lattice energy.

The more the charge on the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
The less the size of the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.

Scandium oxide ( $Sc_2O_3$ ) is an oxide in which $Sc^{3+}$ behaves as cation and $O^{2-}$ behaves as anion.

The compounds which has higher lattice energy than scandium oxide are:

1 . $Al_2O_3$

This is because the charge are same on the cation and the anion as in the case of the Scandium oxide but the size of the cation $Al^{3+}$ is smaller than $Sc^{3+}$ . Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

2. $TiO_2$

This is because the charge on the cation $Ti^{4+}$ is greater than that of $Sc^{3+}$ and also the size of the cation $Ti^{4+}$ is smaller than $Sc^{3+}$ . Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

In the following reaction, how many grams of NaBr will react with 311 grams of Pb(NO3)2?

Mashutka [201]

Molar mass :

NaBr = 103 g/mol

Pb(NO3)2 = 331.20 g/mol

<span><span /><span>Balanced chemical equation :

</span></span>2 NaBr + 1 Pb(NO3)2 = 2 NaNO3 + 1 PbBr<span>2
</span><span>
2*103 g NaBr ------------> 1 * 331.20 g Pb(NO3)2
g NaBr -------------------> 311 g Pb(NO3)2

331.20 g = 2*103*311

331.20 g = 64066

mass ( NaBr ) = 64066 / 331.20

mass ( naBr) = 193,43 g of NaBr

hope this helps!.
