A catalyst lowers the activation energy for both the forward and the reverse reactions in an equilibrium system, so it has no ef

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

  • Catalyst increases the rate of the reaction without affecting the equilibrium position.
  • Catalyst increases the rate via lowering the activation energy of the reaction.
  • This can occur via passing the reaction in alternative pathway (changing the mechanism).
  • The activation energy is the difference in potential energies between the reactants and transition state (for the forward reaction) and it is the difference in potential energies between the products and transition state (for the reverse reaction).
  • in the presence of a catalyst, the activation energy is lowered by lowering the energy of the transition state, which is the rate-determining step, catalysts reduce the required energy of activation to allow a reaction to proceed and, in the case of a reversible reaction, reach equilibrium more rapidly.
  • with adding a catalyst, both the forward and reverse reaction rates will speed up equally, which allowing the system to reach equilibrium faster.

<h2>Answer: </h2>

<u>The statement is</u><u> true </u>

<h2> Explanation: </h2>

When we add a catalyst to a system, both the forward and reverse reaction rates will speed up equally at the same time thereby allowing the system to reach equilibrium faster. But one thing that is very important to keep in mind that the addition of a catalyst has no effect on the final equilibrium position of the reaction because it only makes the reaction faster and nothing else.

Thallium-207 decays exponentially with a half life of 4.5 minutes. if the initial amount of the isotope was 28 grams, how many g
Agata [3.3K]
An exponential decay law has the general form: A = Ao * e ^ (-kt) =>

A/Ao = e^(-kt)

Half-life time => A/Ao = 1/2, and t = 4.5 min

=> 1/2 = e^(-k*4.5) => ln(2) = 4.5k => k = ln(2) / 4.5 ≈ 0.154

Now replace the value of k, Ao = 28g  and t = 7 min to find how many grams of Thalium-207 will remain:

A = Ao e ^ (-kt) = 28 g * e ^( -0.154 * 7) = 9.5 g

Answer 9.5 g.

why do you think Kool Aid comes in packets that has a very finely ground powder (finely ground means very small particles).
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Answer 1:

When you pour the kool-aid into water, the little crystals go straight to the bottom because they are heavier than the water. If you left them there without stirring, and came back a few days later, you wouldn't see any crystals on the bottom. That's because the stuff in kool-aid can DISSOLVE in water, which means that each little molecule of kool-aid gets suspended between the molecules of water. When that happens, you can't see the kool-aid anymore...it's trapped between the water molecules. When you stir kool-aid, you help DISSOLVE the kool-aid in water by keeping all of the crystals off the bottom and in the water. So you see, stirring kool-aid speeds up the dissolving,

Answer 2:

Are you referring to Koolaid in the granular form?If so the koolaid grains sink in water because the grains have a greater density than that of water. Once your stir the grains dissolve and go into solution where they remain because the dissolved koolaid is miscible with water unlike oil (floats) or gasoline (sinks). How long did you let the koolaid remain in the water before you stirred it? I would think that if you left it undisturbed for a long time (days) it would eventually mix on its own.

Answer 3:

I'm not a chemist, but I think I can answer your question about Kool-Aid. Kool-Aid is mostly sugar, which is heavier than water, so when you pour it in it sinks to the bottom. When you stir it up the sugar (and flavoring) dissolves so that you don't have any solid particles any more. Stuff that is dissolved in water will not sink because it is no longer a physically separate thing. It becomes part of the water (or water-sugar-flavor solution). What happens if you pour the Kool-Aid in but don't stir it? Will it eventually dissolve? You may have to wait a long time, like over night. Try it and let me know what you find!

Answer 4:

It all has to do with the rate at which kool-aid crystals (basically its SUGAR!!) dissolves in water relative to the rate at which the sugar crystals sink. If you just dump the stuff in, it sinks because it is denser than the water. As it sinks it dissolves. But when you stir the water, the rate of dissolution becomes greater than the rate of sinking and so the crystals dissolve before they reach the bottom. So it all has to do with the comparison between the rate of sinking versus the rate of dissolution.

Now I have an experiment for you. What happens if you mix up some Jello and instead of letting it sit still, you keep stirring it??? WILL THE JELLO EVER SET??

You may have to borrow your mom's mixing machine because you will get tired of stirring after 10 minutes!!!!

If you do the experiment let me know how it turns out. Actually, you should set up a control. Make two batches of Jello...with one, put it in the refrigerator and dont stir; with the other, keep stirring it (in the refrigerator), if you can figure how to arrange that without your mom or dad getting mad!!!
