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

How many sodium ions are in 1.4 kg of sodium chloride, NaCl?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of NaCl  = 1.4kg  = 1400g

Unknown:

Number of ions of sodium  = ?

Solution:

The compound NaCl in ionic form can be written as;

      NaCl →  Na⁺ + Cl⁻

In 1 mole of NaCl we have 1 mole of sodium ions

 Now, let us find the number of moles in NaCl;

  Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

    Molar mass of NaCl  = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Number of moles  =  \frac{1400}{58.5}     = 23.93mol

 So;

   Since 1 mole of NaCl gives 1 mole of Na⁺  

    In 23.93 mole of NaCl will give 23.93 mole of Na⁺

1 mole of a substance  = 6.02 x 10²³ ions of a substance

  23.93 mole of a substance  =  6.02 x 10²³ x  23.93

                                                   = 1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺

A compound is 80.0% carbon and 20.0% hydrogen by mass. assume you have a 100.-g sample of this compound. the molar mass of the c
ch4aika [34]
Basis of the calculation: 100g
 
For Carbon: 
 Mass of carbon = (100 g)(0.80) = 80 g
  Number of moles of carbon = (80 g)(1 mole / 12g) = 20/3

For Hydrogen:
  Mass of hydrogen = (100 g)(0.20) = 20 g
     Number of moles of hydrogen = (20 g)(1 mole / 1 g) = 20

Translating the answer to the formula of the substance,
     C20/3H20

Dividing the answer,
    CH3

The molar mass of the empirical formula is:
    12 + 3 = 15 g/mol

Since, the molar mass given for the molecular formula is 30.069 g/mol, the molecular equation is,
    C2H6

ANSWER: C2H6
