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>
Yes because the specific heat your multiplying by would be higher
C. Tetraphosphorus trisulfide
Answer:
3.38 x 10⁴cm³
Explanation:
Given that:
Volume of the substance = 3.83 x 10⁷mm³
The problem entails use to convert from mm³ to cm³;
1000mm³ = 1cm³
So;
3.83 x 10⁷mm³ will produce
= 3.38 x 10⁴cm³
