To prevent the hydrolysis and to catalyse the reaction.

Explanation:

Sulphuric acid is the catalyst and also a dehydrating agent in this reaction.

Sulphuric acid is using in redox reaction because sulphuric acid is providing H+ ions which is necessary for this reaction to occur more quickly, but the sulphate ions from the sulphuric acid barely react during this process. So H2SO4 is adding in this reaction to make it more acidic.

H2SO4 is preventing hydrolysis by providing excess H+ ions into the reaction. H2SO4 is stable towards the direction of oxidation.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

13ml

Explanation:

to prepare dis solution first you need a volumetric flask of 100ml calibrated .
using dilution formulae u will need 13ml from the stock
measure 13ml of the 5M stock of the 500ml
then drop it into the 100ml calibrated flask
then add water till it reach d mark and you shake thoroughly

The following reaction, catalyzed by iridium, is endothermic at 700 K: CaO(s) + CH4(g) + 2H2O (g) → CaCO3 (s) + 4H2 (g) For the

arsen [322]

Answer:

A. Increasing the temperature will favor forward reaction and more CaCo3 formed.

B. More CaCo3 will be formed.

C. CaCo3 will decrease and more react ants formed.

D. Less CaCo3 will be formed.

E. Iridium is a catalyst so there is no effect

Explanation:

A. Temperature will increase because it's an endothermic reaction.

B. Adding Cao will favor forward reaction and more CaCo3 formed.

C. Removing methane, more react ants are formed and CaCo3 decreases.

D. Irridi is a catalyst so it has no effect on the CaCo3 but only speeds its rate of reaction.
