A catalyst is a chemical that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being changed by the reaction. The fact that they aren't changed by participating in a reaction distinguishes catalysts from substrates, which are the reactants on which catalysts work. Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions.
Explanation:
Bayer process is industrial method of the refining of the bauxite to produce alumina which is aluminum oxide.
As alumina is amphoteric in nature, it exhibits a higher solubility at both the extremes of pH range, it is possible to dissolve alumina in low as well as in high pH solutions.
Dissolution of the alumina at high pH is well recognized in Bayer process. Bauxite is digested in very <u>high pH solution (> 13) of alkali</u> like sodium hydroxide at temperature of about 150–250°C and pressure at 20 atm. <u>This is done so that the dissolved alumina is separated from rest of insoluble bauxite minerals. </u>
Answer:
The solutions are ordered by this way (from lowest to highest freezing point): K₃PO₄ < CaCl₂ < NaI < glucose
Option d, b, a and c
Explanation:
Colligative property: Freezing point depression
The formula is: ΔT = Kf . m . i
ΔT = Freezing T° of pure solvent - Freezing T° of solution
We need to determine the i, which is the numbers of ions dissolved. It is also called the Van't Hoff factor.
Option d, which is glucose is non electrolyte so the i = 1
a. NaI → Na⁺ + I⁻ i =2
b. CaCl₂ → Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻ i =3
c. K₃PO₄ → 3K⁺ + PO₄⁻³ i=4
Potassium phosphate will have the lowest freezing point, then we have the calcium chloride, the sodium iodide and at the end, glucose.
the element chlorine is represented by the symbol Cl
