The effect of a catalyst on an equilibrium is to ________. Select one: a. increase the rate of the forward reaction only b. slow

the reverse reaction only c. increase the equilibrium constant so that products are favored d. shift the equilibrium to the right e. increase the rate at which equilibrium is achieved without changing the composition of the equilibrium mixture

Answer:

E

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance which alters the rate of a chemical reaction. We check for the correctness of each of the options as follows:

A. Is wrong.

A catalyst can increase the rate of the forward and backward reaction

B. Is wrong

A catalyst does not slow the reverse reaction only. This particular case is the case of a negative catalyst

C is wrong

A catalyst has no effect on the equilibrium nor the equilibrium constant

D is wrong

Catalyst has no effect on equilibrium value

E is correct

Although Catalysts has no effect on equilibrium or its constant value, it can increase the the rate at which equilibrium is achieved by speeding up the reaction through bringing down the activation energy

During the process of _____, gas loses heat and changes into a liquid.
Fantom [35]
<span>Condensation takes place when gas molecules lose heat and kinetic energy. The warmer molecules are the faster they move. Gas molecules move very quickly and have a lot of kinetic energy and heat energy. As the gas molecules lose heat they also lose kinetic energy. As the molecules slow down they move closer together to form liquids.</span>

Which of the following solutions would have the lowest freezing point? 1.0 nacl 3.0 nacl 2.0 nacl or 5.0 nacl
Scilla [17]
The solution that will have the lowest freezing point is 5.0 SODIUM CHLORIDE. 
Adding solute to solvents usually result in the depression of the freezing point. The higher the quantity of the solute that is added, the lower the freezing point of the solution.

Select True or False: Pi bonds are covalent bonds in which the electron density is concentrated above and below a plane containi
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In pi bonds, the electron density concentrates itself between the atoms of the compound but are present on either side of the line joining the atoms. Electron density is found above and below the plane of the line joining the internuclear axis of the two atoms involved in the bond.

Pi bonds usually occur by sideways overlap of atomic orbitals and this leads to both double and triple bonds.

If a 0.320 mM solution of MnO41- has an absorbance of 0.480 at 525 nm in a 1.000 cm cell. What is the concentration of a MnO41-
larisa [96]

Answer:

Hence the concentration of a MnO41- solution that has absorbance of 0.490 in the same cell at that wavelength is 0.3266.

Explanation:

Now A = el, el=const

Then,

A2 / A1 = C2/ C1\\\\0.49/ 0.48 = C2 / 0.32\\\\C2 = 0.3266
