Answer:
C. A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction.
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.
- Catalyst does not consumed during a chemical reaction.

The equation is as below,
<span>5 Ag</span>⁺ (aq) + Mn²⁺ <span>(aq) + 4H</span>₂<span>O (l) → 5Ag (s) + MnO4</span>⁻<span>(aq) + 8H</span>⁺ <span>(aq)
Reduction:
According to eq. Silver is reduced as,
</span>
5 Ag⁺ + 5 e⁻ → 5 Ag
One electron is gained per Ag ion, so 5 Ag ions will gain 5 electrons.
Oxidation:
According to eq. Manganese is Oxidized as,
Mn²⁺ → MnO4⁻
Oxidation number of Mn in MnO₄⁻ is +7, so Mn²⁺ is loosing 5 electrons, Hence,
Mn²⁺ → MnO4⁻ + 5 e⁻
Results:
Hence, 5 moles of electrons are exchanged between oxidizing and reducing agents.
Answer:
aluminium chloride, ferric chloride,
so C is correct I guess
Answer:
All properties of matter are either physical or chemical properties and physical properties are either intensive or extensive. ... Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance's chemical identity. Chemical properties can be measured only by changing a substance's chemical identity.

(These are not rounded to the correct decimal)
130.94 atm
13,266.6 kPa
99,571.4 mmHg
<h2><u>

<u></u>
PV = nRT
V = 245L
P = ?
R = 0.08206 (atm) , 8.314 (kPa) , 62.4 (mmHg)
T = 273.15 + 27 = 300.15K
n = 1302.5 moles
How I found (n).
5.21kg x 1000g/1kg x 1 mole/4.0g = 1302.5 moles
Now, plug all the numbers into the equation.
Pressure in atm = (1302.5)(0.08206)(300.15) / 245 = 130.94 atm (not rounded to the correct decimal)
Pressure in kPa = (1302.5)(8.314)(300.15) / 245 = 13,266.6 kPa (not rounded to the correct decimal)
Pressure in mmHg = (1302.5)(62.4)(300.15) / 245 = 99,571.4 mmHg (not rounded to the correct decimal)
