A student is studying the rate of the following reaction: C2H4O NaOH --> H20 NaC2H3O Knowing that this is an exothermic react

ion, he is measuring the rate of the reaction by timing how quickly the reaction vessel heats up. He notices that if he adds HCl to this reaction, the rate increases dramatically. He also determines that the HCl is being used up during the reaction. Is the HCl a catalyst for this reaction.

Answer:

HCl is not a catalyst because these are not used up during the chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the performed experiments, it is possible for us to realize that HCl cannot be a catalyst for this reaction because it is used up during the reaction. This is explained by the fact that catalyst are able to return to the original form once the reaction has gone to completion; this is the example of palladium in the hydrogenation or dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons depending on the case. Moreover, we know that the catalysts increase the reaction rate because they decrease the activation energy of the reaction and therefore the student observed such increase.

Best regards!

Why does electronegativity increase as you move across the periodic table
Scrat [10]

Answer:

moving across te periodic table electronegativity increases.

Explanation:

as we move across a period the effective nuclear charge increases as the number of protons in nucleus increases. due to increase in effective nuclear charge electronegativity increases

3. In elastic deformation, the deformed body returns to its original shape and size after the stresses are gone. In ductile deformation, there is a permanent change in the shape and size but no fracturing occurs. In brittle deformation, the body fractures after the strength is above the limit. 

4. Normal faults are faults where the hanging wall moves in a downward force based on the footwall; they are formed from tensional stresses and the stretching of the crust. Reverse faults are the opposite and the hanging wall moves in an upward force based on the footwall; they are formed by compressional stresses and the contraction of the crust.  Thrust faults are low-angle reverse faults where the hanging wall moves in an upward force based on the footwall; they are formed in the same way as reverse faults. Last, Strike-slip faults are faults where the movement is parallel to the crust of the fault; they are caused by an immense shear stress. 


I hope this helped :D
