1 answer:

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

Why is blood typing considered codominance and multiple alleles

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

An example of multiple alleles is the ABO blood-type system in humans. In this case, the IA and IB alleles are codominant with each other and are both dominant over the i allele. Although there are three alleles present in a population, each individual only gets two of the alleles from their parents.

Answer with explanation

creativ13 [48]

The answer should be:

KOH (aq) + HCl (aq) --> KCl (aq) + H20 (l).

KOH is a base, because OH can accept a H+.
HCl is an acid because it can donate a H+.

In general, bases are : OH-, and acids are : H+.
