Answer:
Option 3. The catalyst does not affect the enthalpy change (
) of a reaction.
Explanation:
As its name suggests, the enthalpy change of a reaction (
) 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
of the reaction would stay the same.
Refer to an energy profile diagram. Enthalpy change of the reaction
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.
Answer: Balance, multiply, find ratio
Explanation:
Balance the equation to be able to multiply correctly and accurately, multiply, and this will give you the molar ratio
Answer:
CaO- ionic
InAs-covalent
Al2O3-ionic
Bronze- metallic
Explanation:
CaO and Al2O3 are mostly ionic even though the posses a little covalent character but ionic bonding is the main bonding scheme. Bronze is an alloy of two metals hence it contains a metallic bond. InAs has an electro negativity difference of 0.4 between the atoms so it is a polar covalent bond.
The answer is B. I just took the quiz and got it right. Hope it's the same thing for you.
