Answer:

It increases the reaction rate by lowering the activation energy  for a reaction.

Please see the picture below in order to easier to understand.

Explanation:

However, note that there are positive and negative catalyst. The question above is just about the positive catalyst.

Assuming constant pressure, rank these reactions from most energy released by the system to most energy absorbed by the system,
defon

Answer:

C: The surroundings heat up and the system decreases in volume.

D: The surroundings heat up and the system does not change volume.

B: The surroundings heat up and the system expands in volume.

A: The surroundings get cold and the system decreases in volume.

Explanation:

The most exothermic reactions are those that release heat, that is to say, they give up the heat as it cools and the surroundings heat up.

As for endothermics, that is, those that absorb or capture the heat of the medium, they are variables that cool the environment that surrounds them and increase their internal temperature

Why is ammonia (NH₃) classified as a polar molecule?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Ammonia contains an asymmetrical distribution of electric charge.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, accordingly to the electronegativity difference we can calculate for the N-H bond, and based off our periodic table, which shows an electronegativity of 3.0 and 2.1 for N and H respectively, we obtain:

DE=3.0-2.1=0.9

Which is within the range of polar molecule even the both of them are nonmetals. Thus, choices a and b are firstly discarded; nonetheless, even when they are both nonmetals, two of these elements usually have a nonpolar bond, which means that option C is discarded, and therefore, our answer is ammonia contains an asymmetrical distribution of electric charge.

Regards!

Answer:

Fluorine is a <em>non-metal, fills its shell by gaining one electron </em>and<em> becomes a negatively charged ion.</em>

Explanation:

Fluorine have seven electrons in its outermost shell. This means that fluorine is located in Group 17(<em>Halogens</em>) in the Periodic Table. Note that halogens are non-metal elements. So fluorine is a non-metal.

Fluorine fills its shell by gaining one electron because it only needs one electron to achieve stable octet electron arrangement. ( it's easier to gain one electron than to lose all seven electrons in the outermost shell)

As fluorine atom gain one electron to achieve stable octet electron arrangement, its number of electrons becomes greater than its number of protons. So it becomes a negatively charged ion.
