Unburned hydrocarbon on reacting with oxygen undergoes combustion reaction. However, the activation energy of this reaction is significantly high. When a catalyst like Pd is added to the reaction system, it provides active sites for the reaction to occur. It acts are a heterogeneous catalyst. It is pertinent of note that catalyst is refereed as heterogeneous, when it exist in different phase as compared to reactant and products. In present case, reactants and products are in gas phase, while catalyst is in solid phase. Due to availability of larger surface area at active site of Pd, activation energy of reaction decreases and decrease in activation energy favors higher reaction rates.
Answer:
explain on which topic we have to write and organize an essay ?
Explanation:
Mass of Oxygen: 0.0159 grams
Moles of Oxygen: 9.94x10^-4
To find the mass of oxygen, subtract the mass of copper from the total mass.

There are 0.0159 grams of Oxygen.
To find how many moles there are, divide the given amount of oxygen by the molar mass (atomic mass) of oxygen because that mass is the same as one mole of oxygen.
Molar mass of Oxygen: 16.00

There are 9.94*10^-4 moles of Oxygen.
Answer:
The mass of SO2 will be equal to the sum of the mass of S and O2.
Explanation:
This can be explained by the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>. This law states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Knowing this, we can say that the reactants of a chemical reaction must be equal to the products.
In this case, the reactants Sulfur (S) and Oxygen (O2) must equal the mass of the product Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). Therefore, the statement <em>"The mass of SO2 will be equal to the sum of the mass of S and O2" </em>is correct.
Answer:
0.41 moles.
Explanation:
Given that:
Mass of helium = 4.00 g
Initial Volume = 24.4 L
initial Temperature = 25.0 °C =( 25 + 273) = 298 K
initial Pressure = 1.00 atm
The volume was reduced to :
i.e
final volume of the helium - 10.4 L
Change in ΔV = 24.4 - 10.4 = 10.0 L
Temperature and pressure remains constant.
The new quantity of gas can be calculated by using the ideal gas equation.
PV = nRT
n = 
n = 
n = 0.4089 moles
n = 0.41 moles.
