Answer:
FALSE
Since 0.385 < 0.526, the value for week 3 is accepted.
Explanation:
Qexp = (|Xq - Xₙ₋₁|)/w
where Xq is the suspected outlier; Xₙ₋₁ is the next nearest data point; w is the range of data
First, the data are arranged in decreasing order, from highest to lowest:
3. 5.6
2. 5.1
8. 5.1
1. 4.9
6. 4.9
5. 4.7
7. 4.5
4. 4.3
Xq = 5.6; Xₙ₋₁ = 5.1; w = 5.6 - 4.3 = 1.3
Qexp = (|5.6 - 5.1|)/1.3 = 0.385
From tables, at 95% confidence level, for n = 8, Qcrit = 0.526
Since 0.385 < 0.526, the value for week 3 is accepted.
Answer:
To consume the 2.8 moles of CH4 we need 5.6 moles of O2 since the molar ratio is 1:2. We have only 3 moles of O2 ; therefore, O2 is the limiting reactant.
Explanation:
Answer: II. The catalyst provides a new pathway in the reaction mechanism.
III. The catalyst speeds up the reaction.
Explanation:
Activation energy is the extra energy that must be supplied to reactants in order to cross the energy barrier and thus convert to products.
A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a reaction by taking the reaction through a different path which involves lower activation energy and thus more molecules can cross the energy barrier and more molecules convert to products.
The catalyst itself does not take part in the chemical reaction and gets regenerated as such at the end of the reaction without getting consumed.
