Answer:

d). A catalyst lowers the activation energy for a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

From the given choices, it is true that a catalyst lowers the activation energy for a chemical reaction.

The activation energy is the energy barrier that must be overcome before a chemical reaction can occur.

Some reactions have very high activation energy and would not occur without the introduction of a catalyst.

The catalyst brings the reactants into contact by removing the energy deficiency in the system.

Analysing the Question:

We are given the balanced equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂→ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

from this equation, we can say that: for every 1 mole of Glucose, we need 6 moles of Oxygen

Moles of Glucose used in the reaction:

Molar mass of Glucose = 180 grams / mol

Given mass of Glucose = 1 gram

Mole of Glucose = Given mass / Molar mass

Moles of Glucose = 1 / 180 moles

Mass of Oxygen required:

We know that for every mole of Glucose, we need 6 moles of Oxygen

So, for 1/180 moles of Glucose, we need 6 / 180 = 1 / 30 moles of Oxygen

Mass of 1 / 30 moles of Oxygen:

Mass = Molar mass * number of moles

Mass of Oxygen = 32 * 1/30

Mass of Oxygen = 32 / 30

Mass of Oxygen = 1.06 grams

To find the Ce4+ content in a solid sample, 4.3718 g of the solid sample were dissolved and treated with excess iodate to precip

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

3.43 %

Explanation:

We need to calculate first the number of moles of CeO2 produced in the combustion. Given its formula we know how many moles of Ce atom are present. From there calculate the mass this number of moles this represent and then one can calculate the percentage.

0.1848 g CeO2 x 1 mol CeO2/172.114g = 0.00107 mol CeO2

0.00107 mol CeO2 x 1 mol Ce/ 1 mol CeO2 = 0.00107 mol Ce

.00107 mol Ce x 140.116 g Ce/ mol = 0.150 g Ce

0.150 g Ce/ 4.3718 g sample x 100 = 3.43 %

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Faraday's constant will be smaller than it is supposed to be.

Explanation:

If the copper anode was not completely dry when its mass was measured, mass of the copper must be heavier than it should have been. Hence, the calculated Faraday’s constant would be smaller than it is supposed to be since when calculating Faraday’s Constant, the charge transferred is divided by the moles of electrons.

♔♔Can water stay liquid below zero degrees Celsius?✞♡♡♡

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Yes, water can stay liquid below zero degrees Celsius. There are a few ways in which this can happen. The freezing point of water drops below zero degrees Celsius as you apply pressure. When we apply pressure to a liquid, we force the molecules to get closer together.

Provide an example of a Food Chain.

VikaD [51]

Answer: Diamond is the name ^-^

A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food. eg: A hawk eats a snake, which has eaten a frog, which has eaten a grasshopper, which has eaten grass. A food web shows the many different paths plants and animals are connected. eg: A hawk might also eat a mouse, a squirrel, a frog or some other animal.

Hope this helps ^_^
