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

Which metal cations form a white precipitate with both H2SO4(aq) and Na2S2O4(aq)? 1. Ba2+ 2. Sr2+ 3. Fe2+ 4. Cu2+
8090 [49]

Answer:

1. Ba2+ 2. Sr2+

Explanation:

When a solution contains the Barium ,Ba²⁺ ion or Strontium, Sr²⁺ ion, they reacts with either H₂SO₄(aq) or Na₂SO₄(aq) to produce a white precipitate of BaSO₄(s) and SrSO₄(s) respectively

The chemical reactions are given below

Ba²⁺ +  H₂SO₄(aq) ⇒ BaSO₄(s) + 2H⁺ (aq)

Ba²⁺ +  Na₂SO₄(aq) ⇒ BaSO₄(s) + 2Na⁺ (aq)

Sr²⁺ +  H₂SO₄(aq) ⇒ SrSO₄(s) + 2H⁺ (aq)

Sr²⁺ +  Na₂SO₄(aq) ⇒ SrSO₄(s) + 2Na⁺ (aq)

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Base on the properties the substances possess the substance change phase from gas to liquid.

Explanation:

Generally, matter can exist in three phase namely liquid , solid and gas. The scientist has a container with a substance inside.

At first the substance moves away from each other . This means the substance was first in the gas phase . Gas molecules, because of the energy they possess , it can move rapidly and randomly and most at times move away from each other . The gas molecules tends to fill the whole volume of the container and the shape of gases are indefinite.

Later the molecules move around each other. This is a property of a liquid . A substance in liquid phase have the ability to move freely but they stay together because of the force of attraction holding them together . The substance only have the ability to move around each other because the forces holding them together won't allow them to move apart.

Base on the properties the substances possess the substance change phase from gas to liquid.
