Which of the following is altered by a catalyst?

Vika [28.1K]

<span>In chemistry, a catalyst can speed up the reaction (or make it initiate easier) by altering the activation energy, lowering it enough to allow the reactants to react more easily. Some negative catalysts or inhibitors can do the same by increasing the activation energy.

Use the half-reaction method to balance the equation for the conversion of ethanol to acetic acid in acid solution:CH₃CH₂OH + Cr

garik1379 [7]

Balanced chemical equation is 3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O.

<h3>What is Balanced Chemical Equation ?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

The chemical equation

CH₃CH₂OH + Cr₂O₇²⁻ → CH₃COOH + Cr³⁺

First assign the oxidation number for each atom in the equation.

$\overset{+3}{C}\overset{+1}{H_3} \overset{-1}{C} \overset{+1}{H_2} \overset{-2}{O} \overset{+1}{H} + \overset{+6}{Cr_2} \overset{-2}{O_7} + \overset{+1}{H} \rightarrow \overset{+3}{C}\overset{+1}{H_3} \overset{+3}{C}\overset{-2}{O} \overset{-2}{O} \overset{+1}{H} + \overset{+3}{Cr}$

Oxidation: C₂H₆O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ → 2Cr⁺³

Now, balance the charge

Oxidation: C₂H₆O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³

Now balance the oxygen atoms

Oxidation: C₂H₆O + H₂O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³ + 7H₂O

Now, make electron gain equivalent to lost

Oxidation: C₂H₆O + H₂O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺ } × 3

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³ + 7H₂O } × 2

Now,

Oxidation: 3C₂H₆O + 3H₂O → 3C₂H₄O₂ + 12e⁻ + 12H⁺

Reduction: 2Cr₂O₇ + 12e⁻ + 28H⁺ → 4Cr⁺³ + 14H₂O

Now, add the both equations

3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that the balanced chemical equation is 3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O.

Which of the following solutions is more concentrated?<br> 0.50M KCl or 5.0% (w/v) KCl

HACTEHA [7]

.50 M KCl because 5% is the same as .05, which makes the .50M more concentrated.
