A. A catalyst because it increases the time that it takes to happen

A catalyst will increase the rate of a chemical reaction by changing the reaction mechanism so that the reaction has a lower activation energy.

a higher volume will decrease the concentrations which will intern decrease the number of collisions which will slow down the rate of the reaction since collisions between reactants are what make reactions happen. A lower temperature causes the molecules to slow down thereby lowering the collision rate which will lower the reaction rate. A lower pressure will lower the number of collisions which will intern result in a lower reaction rate (this can be thought of as a lower concentration since lower pressures involve less gas per unit volume)

How does aspirin interact with other drugs

Damm [24]

The most common drugs that aspirin may interact with are: Anti-inflammatory painkillers, such as diclofenac, ibuprofen, indomethacin, and naproxen. Taken with aspirin, these can increase the risk of bleeding. Warfarin, an anticoagulant drug, or a blood thinner, which stops the blood from clotting.

Given a fixed amount of gas held at constant pressure, calculate the volume it would occupy if a 2.00 L sample were cooled from

aliina [53]

Answer:

1.82 L

Explanation:

We are given the following information;

Initial volume as 2.0 L
Initial temperature as 60.0°C
New volume as 30.0 °C

We are required to determine the new volume;

From Charles's law;

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$

Where, $V_1 and V_2$ are initial and new volume respectively, while $T_1 and T_2$ are initial and new temperatures respectively;

$T_1= 333 K$

$T_2=303K$

$V_1 =2.0L$

Rearranging the formula;

$V_2=\frac{V_1T_2}{T_1}$

$= \frac{(2.0L)(303K)}{333K} \\=1.820 L$

Therefore, the new volume that would be occupied by the gas is 1.82 L

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer : The partial pressure of $N_2,H_2\text{ and }NH_3$ at equilibrium are, 1.133, 2.009, 0.574 bar respectively. The total pressure at equilibrium is, 3.716 bar

Solution : Given,

Initial pressure of $N_2$ = 1.42 bar

Initial pressure of $H_2$ = 2.87 bar

$K_p$ = 0.036

The given equilibrium reaction is,

$N_2(g)+H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)$

Initially 1.42 2.87 0

At equilibrium (1.42-x) (2.87-3x) 2x

The expression of $K_p$ will be,

$K_p=\frac{(p_{NH_3})^2}{(p_{N_2})(p_{H_2})^3}$

Now put all the values of partial pressure, we get

$0.036=\frac{(2x)^2}{(1.42-x)\times (2.87-3x)^3}$

By solving the term x, we get

$x=0.287\text{ and }3.889$

From the values of 'x' we conclude that, x = 3.889 can not more than initial partial pressures. So, the value of 'x' which is equal to 3.889 is not consider.

Thus, the partial pressure of $NH_3$ at equilibrium = 2x = 2 × 0.287 = 0.574 bar

The partial pressure of $N_2$ at equilibrium = (1.42-x) = (1.42-0.287) = 1.133 bar

The partial pressure of $H_2$ at equilibrium = (2.87-3x) = [2.87-3(0.287)] = 2.009 bar

The total pressure at equilibrium = Partial pressure of $N_2$ + Partial pressure of $H_2$ + Partial pressure of $NH_3$

The total pressure at equilibrium = 1.133 + 2.009 + 0.574 = 3.716 bar

WILL GIVE 50 POINTS FOR ALL ANSWERS!!! PLEASE HELP!

blondinia [14]

Answer:

the answer would be (A.) and (D.).

Explanation:

the reason for that being is because if calcium sulfate is a main component of plaster of paris you would need to find out what is in it that makes it the main component aka (the formula) therefore part of the answer is (A.). The other part of the answer was (D.) because you would need to find the amount of calcium sulfate that contain 12 grams of oxegeon atoms because you finding the answer to that could lead to the answer of what is the main component of plaster of Paris.
