Why do you think it is a bad idea to use taste, touch, or smell to identify an unknown chemical?

Chemistry

miv72 [106K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Because it can cause health problems or injuries to our sense organs.

Explanation:

Chemicals in the laboratory are made up of different constituents, which may be dangerous or injurious to health. This is the reason why safety measures or precautions have to be taken when working in the laboratory. One of those safety measures is that "one should never use taste, touch, or smell to identify an unknown chemical".

This is so because a chemical that is unknown amounts to the fact that what such chemical contains is unknown, hence, the chemical might have the ability to cause harm or injuries to the sense organ. For example, a conc. acid that is tasted will burn the tongue etc.

Which action would reduce the activation energy of a chemical reaction?
zalisa [80]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance which helps in increasing the rate of a reaction without itself getting consumed in the reaction.

A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction so that reactant molecules with less energy can easily participate into the chemical reaction and thus, product formation becomes faster.

Thus, we can conclude that adding a catalyst to the reaction would reduce the activation energy of a chemical reaction.
