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!

How much carbon would be needed to make 8.8g of carbon dioxide?<br>

PIT_PIT [208]

The calculation for such a question can be achieved via Avogadro hypothesis

We know molar mass of CO2 is 44g/mole which is the sum of atomic masses i.e; C and 2 oxygen atoms

Molar mass of CO2 =12(C)+2*16(O) = 44 g/mole will contain 6.023 ※10^23 CO2 molecules ..

44g/mole = 6.023 ※10^23 CO2 molecules

=> 1g = (6.023/44) ※10^23 CO2 molecules

==> 8.80g = 8.80(6.023÷44)10^23 = 1.2046 ※10^23 molecules of CO2….

Thus there r 1.2046 ※10^23 molecules of CO2 in 8.80g

if u need to calculate no. of carbon atoms then multiply result by 1 and if u need no of oxygen atoms in 8.80g of co2 then multiply the result by 2 ….
