Explain why the catalyst is used as a very fine powder and larger pieces of iron are not used.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Allushta [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<h2><u>Reason:</u></h2>

Catalyst is used as a very fine powder and larger pieces of iron are not used. This is because the surface area of catalyst needs to be large so that more of the surface is exposed to the substrate and more of the substrate is catalyzed.

<h2><u>Important Info:</u></h2>

=> Larger Pieces of Iron has a smaller surface area than the fine particles.

=> Larger the surface area of catalysts/enzymes , more will be the reaction rate and vice versa.

Hope this helped!

Answer:  Fe(s) + 6H_2O(l) + 3O_2(g)  -> 4Fe(OH)_3(s)

Explanation:

The Chemical equation for the formation of rust is:

Iron + Water + Oxygen ----> Rust

4 Fe(s) + 6 H2O(l) + 3 O2(g) → 4 Fe(OH)3(s)

The Iron Hydroxide However dehydrates to produce Fe2O3 * nH2O

How many moles of PCl5 can be produced from 53.0 g of Cl2 (and excess P4)?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

0.299 moles of PCl5

Explanation:

First form an equation based of given information: P4 + Cl2= 4PCl5

Next balance it: P4 + 10Cl2 = 4PCl5

Take your given value (53.0g of Cl2) and divide it by its molar mass to get moles of Cl2: 53.0g/70.906g = 0.747 moles Cl2

Then, multiply by the molar ratio (10Cl2 to 4PCl5): (0.747 x 4 mol PCl5)/10 mol Cl2 = 0.299 moles PCl5
