Above is a potential energy curve of a reaction. It depicts conversion of reactant to product via transition state.
When a catalyst is added to the reaction system, energy barrier of reaction decreases.
It must be noted that energy barrier reaction is defined as energy difference between reactant and transition state.
In present case, energy of reactant is 200 kj, while that of transition state (in absence of catalyst) is 650 kj
Thus, energy barrier of reaction is 650 - 200 = 450 kj
<span>Hence, system must absorb 450 kj of energy for the reaction to start, if no catalyst was used</span>
Answer:
. A closed system allows only energy transfer but no transfer of mass. Example: a cup of coffee with a lid on it, or a simple water bottle. ... In reality, a perfectly isolated system does not exist, for instance hot water in a thermos flask cannot remain hot forever.
Answer:
I’m pretty sure it’s Lions sleeping after a big meal
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
It depends on how this is done. If you raise the pressure, the nitrogen will disappear (liquify) and all that will be left will be the 21 % oxygen and the 1% argon.
The process is very complicated because the boiling point of nitrogen keeps on changing. The boiling point is unstable.
