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

A 25.0-mL sample of 0.150 M butanoic acid is titrated with a 0.150 M NaOH solution. What is the pH before any base is added? The

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻ 
so:
\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]} = 1.5 x 10^{-5}
and now:
\frac{(x)(x)}{(0.150-x)} = 1.5 x 10⁻⁵
x is considered very small compared to 0.15
x² = 2.25 x 10⁻⁶
x = 1.5 x 10⁻³
So [H⁺] = 1.5 x 10⁻³
pH = - log [H⁺] = - log (1.5 x 10⁻³) = 2.83

The statement "electrons have a negative charge" is true. Select the correct evidence scientist have that proves this statement
Kryger [21]

The question is incomplete but i will try to offer as much help as i can.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The electron was discovered by J.J Thompson. His model of the atom was called the plum-pudding model of the atom.

He discovered that cathode rays being negatively charged particles were deflected by a magnet in just the same way as moving, negative electrically charged particles.

Similarly, in an electric field, they are deflected towards the positive plate of the electrostatic field which shows that they are negatively charged.

Confirmatory test of oxygen meaning?
Darya [45]

Answer:

Oxygen supports combustion so a good method of testing for oxygen is to take a glowing splint and place it in a sample of gas, if it re-ignites the gas is oxygen. This is a simple but effective test for oxygen.
