Answer:

Option 3. The catalyst does not affect the enthalpy change (\Delta H_\text{rxn}) of a reaction.

Explanation:

As its name suggests, the enthalpy change of a reaction (\Delta H_\text{rxn}) is the difference between the enthalpy of the products and the reactants.

On the other hand, a catalyst speeds up a reaction because it provides an alternative reaction pathway from the reactants to the products.

In effect, a catalyst reduces the activation energy of the reaction in both directions. The reactants and products of the reaction won't change. As a result, the difference in their enthalpies won't change, either. That's the same as saying that the enthalpy change \Delta H_\text{rxn} of the reaction would stay the same.

Refer to an energy profile diagram. Enthalpy change of the reaction \Delta H_\text{rxn} measures the difference between the two horizontal sections. Indeed, the catalyst lowered the height of the peak. However, that did not change the height of each horizontal section or the difference between them. Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction stayed the same.

Indicate how the gas molecules move between the system and the surroundings based on changes in pressure, temperature, and volum
MrMuchimi

The gas molecules move between the system and the surroundings follow PV=nRT.

<h3>What are molecules?</h3>

The smallest particle of a substance has all of the physical and chemical properties of that substance.

An increase in pressure pushes the molecules closer together, reducing the volume. If the pressure is decreased, the gases are free to move about in a larger volume.

In the kinetic theory of gasses, increasing the temperature of a gas increases in average kinetic energy of the molecules, causing increased motion.

The reduction in the volume of the gas means that the molecules are striking the walls more often increasing the pressure, and conversely if the volume increases the distance the molecules must travel to strike the walls increases and they hit the walls less often thus decreasing the pressure.

At constant temperature and pressure the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas. At constant temperature and volume the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas.

as any personal information of clients, customers, employees, guests, or anyone else exposed in the incident?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

"Protecting the privacy of your employees is critical to the long term success of your business. Senior leadership, high-profile executives and their families, as well as other customer-facing employees are particularly vulnerable to targeting to bad actors when their personal information is exposed. Other potential sources of danger include disgruntled employees, ex-employees and even customers."

Hope this helps :)

Sodium hydride racts with excess water to produce
romanna [79]

Answer:

0.96g of sodium hydride

Explanation:

Equation of reaction:

NaH + H20 = NaOH + H2

Mass of hydrogen gas produced (m) = PVM/RT

P = 765torr - 28torr = 737torr = 737/760 = 0.97atm, V = 982mL = 982cm^3, M = 2g/mol, R = 82.057cm^3.atm/gmol.K, T = 28°C = 28 + 273K = 301K

m = (0.97×982×2)/(82.057×301) = 0.08g of hydrogen gas

From the equation of reaction

1 mole (24g) of sodium hydride produced 1 mole (2g) of hydrogen gas

0.08g of hydrogen gas would be produced by (24×0.08)/2 = 0.96g of sodium hydride
