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!

In a sample of oxygen gas at room temperature, the average kinetic energy of all the balls stays constant. Which postulate of ki
Levart [38]

Answer:

Collisions between gas particles are elastic; there is no net gain or loss of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

When a gas is paced in a container, the molecules of the gas have little or no intermolecular interaction between them. There is a lot of space between the molecules of the gas.

The gas molecules move at very high speed and collide with each other and with the walls of container.

The collision of these particles with each other is perfectly elastic hence the kinetic energy of the colliding gas particles do not change.
