<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
A dense substance that is hard and incompressible
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>Crystals are solids that are made up of particles such as molecules, atoms or ions, </u></em>which are arrange in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice which extends in all directions.
- Examples of crystals include<em><u> quartz,</u></em> that is made up of silicon (iV) oxide molecules that are arranged in a lattice,<u><em>table salt</em></u> is another example that is made up of sodium and chloride ions that are arranged in a lattice
- Crystals are very ordered, they may be made up of atoms of the same elements or atoms of different elements such as in the case of table salt.
Answer:
Addition of a catalyst can speed up a reaction by providing an alternate reaction pathway that has a lower activation energy
Explanation:
A catalyst is an agent that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternate pathway for the reaction that requires a lower activation energy. As the requirement for activation energy is less in the presence of a catalyst, there are more reactant particles becoming involved in the chemical reaction and as such there are more products formed per unit time, or there is an increase in the rate of the reaction
Example of catalyst include
1. Addition of potassium permanganate to hydrogen peroxide to aid in the rapid decomposition into water and oxygen
2. Platinum serves as a catalyst in the complete combustion of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide.
Answer:
189 Joules
Explanation:
Applying,
Q = cm(t₂-t₁)............. equation 1
Where Q = Heat, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = Initial Temperature, t₂ = Final temperature.
From the question,
Given: m = 15 grams = 0.015 kg, t₁ = 21 °C, t₂ = 24 °C
Constant: c = 4200J/kg.°C
Substitute these values into equation 1
Q = 0.015×4200×(24-21)
Q = 0.015×4200×3
Q = 189 Joules
Composer and performer of Old Occitan lyric poetryduring the High Middle Ages (1100–1350). Since the word troubadour is etymologically masculine, a female troubadour is usually called a trobairitz.
