What is the action of a catalyst

Chemistry
1 answer:
AfilCa [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction without being used up and remains chemically unchanged itself .

Explanation: For a reaction to take place the particles must collide with enough energy for bonds to break and reaction to occur .

BUT when a catalyst is present the reactants are able to react in a way that requires less energy ,leading to more successful collision so the reaction speeds up without the chemical composition of the catalyst being affected

NOTE: the catalyst must be chosen to suit the particular reaction

When molten candle wax solidifies is that a chemical reaction or not?l
andrey2020 [161]

Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction

<u>Explanation:</u>

Basically Wax is crystalline so once the candle light melts it freezes taking back the solid state to the room temperature.

When the room temperature is below the freezing point, the liquid candle wax, turns into solid state again, therefore this process is called solidification. The process of freezing or solidification is a process when an object turns liquid and freezes back to solid state.

Indeed, Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction

Use the chart to determine which type of bond is formed between potassium (K) and chlorine (Cl).
iris [78.8K]
Potassium and Chloride forms an ionic bond.
(K+) + (Cl-) = KCl

Potassium is under Group IA (Alkali Metal), wherein elements under this group can easily lose electrons.

Chlorine is under Group VII (Halogens), in which these elements can gain electrons easily.

The inner shell electrons on potassium will merge with the outer shell of electrons of chlorine to make potassium chloride.
