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

Bond [772]

Answer:

The dissociation of copper sulfate into ions is an exothermic chemical reaction that releases heat into the surroundings.

Explanation:

Some of the potential energy stored in the solid sample of anhydrous copper sulfate is released as heat as the sample dissolves and dissociates into ions in the water. This is due to the large lattice energy of the crystalline copper sulfate.

hope this helps

what kind of evidence indicates a chemical change ?... a physical change? you may use examples to show softened.
SOVA2 [1]
Some things that can indicate a chemical change are change of odor, change of color, change in temperature or energy, such as the production or loss of heat. An example could be the rusting of metal, there would be a color change of going from a shiny silver to a dirty, splotchy red color. Some things that indicate a physical change are change of appearance like change of shape, etc. It can also be like a change between a solid to liquid to gas. For example, the cutting of a piece of paper.

Given the reaction: solid sodium reacts with chlorine gas to form solid sodium chloride How many moles of the product result fro
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

number of moles of NaCl produce = 12 mol

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to write the chemical equation of the reaction and balance it .

Na(s) + Cl2(g) → NaCl(s)

The balanced equation is as follows:

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)

1 mole(71 g) of chlorine produces 2 moles(117  g) of sodium chloride

6 mole of chlorine gas will produce ? mole of sodium chloride

cross multiply

number of moles of NaCl produce = 6 × 2

number of moles of NaCl produce = 12 moles

number of moles of NaCl produce = 12 mol
