A chemist has two compounds that do not chemically react. He thinks that by finding the right catalyst, he can get them to react

. Why is the chemist incorrect?
A. Catalysts can only increase the rate of reaction for compounds that do react. B. Only an inhibitor can cause two compounds to react.
C. The activation energy of the reaction is already zero.
D. A catalyst cannot increase the concentration of reactants.

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Catalysts change the path that the reactants take to yield the products, which is how the energy activation is changed.

Answer: oprion <span>A. Catalysts can only increase the rate of reaction for compounds that do react.
</span>

Explanation:

Such as the right choice states a catalyst cannot make react two materials that cannot chemically react.

The catalysts modify the rate (speed) of a reaction between chemicals.

The definition of catalyst is a substance that increases the speed of a chemical reaction by modifying the activation energy but that is not consumed in the reaction.

Then three facts must be highlithed about catalyst:

1) Catalysts are not included in the chemical equation since they do not increase the amount of product that can be obtained (they do not change the theoretical yield of the reaction).

2) Catalysts change the path that the reactants take to yield the products, which is how the energy activation is changed.

3) As consequence, catalysts are not consumed during the reaction.

A rigid vessel contains water at 0.15 MPa (at 25 °C). The vessel is heated to the critical point of water. Calculate the fractio
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

0.8078 Kg

Explanation:

Pressure of water = 0.15 MPa = 1.5 bar

At critical point of water ,temperature = 647 K=374°C

From the ideal gas equation

P×V= m×R×T

Let us assume volume = 1 m^3

1.5 x 105 x 1 = m x 287 x 647

m= 0.8078 kg

the fraction of mass of liquid at 25°C.

The kinetic theory assumes that collisions of gas particles are perfectly elastic. What does this statement mean?
In-s [12.5K]
<span>Stating that collisions of gas particles are perfectly elastic means that no kinetic energy is lost when the gases collide, and no kinetic energy is gained. Some of the properties of gases include volume, pressure, thermal conductivity, pressure, and viscosity.</span>
