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

The modern periodic table is arranged in order of increasing. true or false
qaws [65]

Answer:

Increasing atomic number - True

Explanation:

The modern table is based on Mendeleev’s table, except the modern table arranges the elements by increasing atomic number instead of atomic mass.

The Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, and this number is unique for each element. For example, Hydrogen has an atomic number of 1, Calcium has an atomic number of 20.

In the modern periodic table the elements are further arranged into:

- rows, called periods, in order of increasing atomic number. Elements in the same periods have the same number of shells.

- vertical columns, called groups, where the elements have similar properties. Elements in the same group has the same number of valency (outermost number of electrons)

A solution of methanol and water has a mole fraction of water of 0.312 and a total vapor pressure of 211 torr at 39.9∘C. The vap
DaniilM [7]

Answer : This is not an ideal mixture.

Explanation :

Using Raoult's law :

P_{Mixture}=p_{CH_3OH}+p_{H_2O}\\\\P_{Mixture}=x_{CH_3OH}\times p^o_{CH_3OH}+x_{H_2O}\times p^o_{H_2O}

where,

P_{Mixture} = total vapor pressure of mixture

p^o_{CH_3OH} = vapor pressure of pure methanol = 256 torr

p^o_{H_2O} = vapor pressure of pure water = 55.3 torr

x_{H_2O} = mole fraction of water = 0.312  

x_{CH_3OH} = mole fraction of methanol = 1 - 0.312 = 0.688

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

P_{Mixture}=x_{CH_3OH}\times p^o_{CH_3OH}+x_{H_2O}\times p^o_{H_2O}

P_{Mixture}=0.688\times 256torr+0.312\times 55.3torr

P_{Mixture}=193.4torr

From this we conclude that the total vapor pressure of mixture is less than the total given vapor pressure of 211 torr. That means, the interactions between the methanol and water would be weaker than those between the individual substances. So, this is not an ideal mixture.

Hence, this is not an ideal mixture.

A crystal of potassium permanganate is placed in a beaker of water. The purple colour of potassium permanganate gradually spread
cricket20 [7]

When the crystals of potassium permanganate are preserved in water, the purple-coloured crystals of potassium permanganate break further into smaller particles that populate the distance between the molecules of water imparting a purple colour to the water. This is an example of diffusion.

<h3>What are the two conclusions given out in the method of diffusion?</h3>

Diffusion is the process of movement of solvent from higher concentration to lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane. So, we can form the decision that it cannot occur through a thick membrane from which small molecules cannot pass through.

<h3>What is difference between osmosis and diffusion?</h3>

Osmosis is the direction of solvent particles from a solution that is diluted to a more concentrated one. In contrast, diffusion is the movement of particles from a higher concentration region to a part of lower concentration.
