The right answer is the activation energy.
The catalyst increases the reaction rate by introducing new reaction paths (mechanism), and lowering its activation energy, or activation Gibbs free energy. By doing this it can increase the speed, or lower the temperature of the reaction. It is important to note that the catalyst does not alter the total Gibbs free energy of the reaction which is a system state function and therefore has no effect on the equilibrium constant.
Answer is b. Burning fossil fuels causes a decrease in the pH of ocean water making it more acidic.
Burning of fossil fuels release carbon dioxide and other harmful gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide gets dissolves in the ocean to form carbonic acid. Due to formation carbonic acid, the pH of ocean water changes slightly. The average pH of ocean water was 8.2 slightly basic. Now it 8.1, it means there is 25 % increase in acidity of ocean water.
The correct answer is angioplasty.
<span>
Angioplasty is one of the treatments after heart attack including special tubing with an attached deflated balloon. The tube is threaded up to the coronary arteries. Angioplasty is usually combined with the placement of a small tube called a stent which helps to restore the flow of blood through the artery and decreases its chance of narrowing again.</span>
