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!

What's the oxidation number of Li in LiNO3
Studentka2010 [4]

+1

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to set up an algebraic equation. Let us first understand the meaning of oxidation number.

The oxidation number is the formal charge assigned to an atom present in a molecule or formula unit

The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is the charge on the ion.

The algebraic sum of all oxidation number of atoms in a neutral compound is zero;

   The radical NO₃ has a formal charge of -1;

 let the oxidation number of Li = x

 x + (-1) = 0

  x = + 1

What is the concentration of a potassium iodate solution after you complete the following porcedure? Pipette 10 mL of a 0.31 M p
zubka84 [21]

<u>Given:</u>

Initial concentration of potassium iodate (KIO3) M1 = 0.31 M

Initial volume of KIO3 (stock solution) V1 = 10 ml

Final volume of KIO3 V2 = 100 ml

<u>To determine:</u>

The final concentration of KIO3 i.e. M2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Use the relation-

M1V1 = M2V2

M2 = M1V1/V2 = 0.31 M * 10 ml/100 ml = 0.031 M

Ans: The concentration of KIO3 after dilution is 0.031 M
