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!

Consider the three statements below. Which numbered response contains all the statements that are true and no false statements?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

a) I, II, and III

Explanation:

For the first statement;

Solvation, is the process of attraction and association of molecules of a solvent with molecules or ions of a solute. if the solvent is water, we call this process hydration.

This means the statement is TRUE.

For the second statement;

The negatively-charged side of the water molecules are attracted to  positively-charged ions. In the case of water, the oxygen end is the negatively charged side of water. This means the statement is TRUE.

For the third statement;

The positively-charged side of the water molecules are attracted to the negatively-charged chloride ions. In the case of water, the hydrogen end is the positively charged side of water. This means the statement is TRUE.

Going through the options, we can tell that the correct option is option A.

Alecsey [184]
An atom of carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell, which means that 
<span>its ionic charge is 4+ or 4-
</span>Si is in same group as carbon so its also 4+ or 4-
Germanium is 4+.
Sn is also 2+ or 4+
Pb is usually +2
