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)

Partner Namets) For each of the following reactions carried out: Write the balanced chemical equation, the full ionic equation,

torisob [31]

Answer : The full balanced ionic equation will be,

$2KI(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+PbI_2(s)$

Reactants are lead nitrate and potassium iodide.

Products are lead iodide and potassium nitrate.

The spectator ions are, $K^+,NO_3^-$

Explanation :

Complete ionic equation : In complete ionic equation, all the substance that are strong electrolyte and present in an aqueous are represented in the form of ions.

Net ionic equation : In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.

Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.

When potassium iodide react with lead nitrate then it gives potassium nitrate and lead iodide as a product.

The full balanced ionic equation will be,

$2KI(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+PbI_2(s)$

The ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,

$2K^+(aq)+2I^{-}(aq)+Pb^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)+2K^+(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)$

In this equation, $K^+\text{ and }NO_3^-$ are the spectator ions.

By removing the spectator ions from the balanced ionic equation, we get the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation will be,

$Pb^{2+}(aq)+2I^{-}(aq)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)$

What does the chemical formula CaCl, show about the compound it represents? It is made up of one element. It is made up of two e

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

It is made up of two elements.

Explanation:

To answer the question given above,

We shall determine the number of elements present in CaCl₂. This can be obtained as follow:

CaCl₂ contains calcium (Ca) and chlorine gas (Cl₂).

This implies that CaCl₂ contains two different elements.

Now, considering the options given in the question above, CaCl₂ is made up of two elements.
