The graph above shows the progress of a chemical reaction. Based on the graph, which of the following is true?
2 answers:
Answer: b. Reaction A is not enzyme-catalyzed, while reaction B is enzyme-catalyzed
Explanation:
Activation energy is the extra energy that must be supplied to reactants in order to cross the energy barrier and thus convert to products. It is the difference between the energy of activated complex and energy of reactants.
A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a reaction by taking the reaction through a different path which involves lower activation energy and thus more molecules can cross the energy barrier and convert to products.
The catalyst itself does not take part in the chemical reaction and is regenerated as such at the end.

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of required is 14.37 g
<u>Explanation:</u>
Molarity is calculated by using the equation:
......(1)
We are given:
Molarity of iron (II) sulfate = 1 M
Volume of solution = 200 mL = 0.200 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
The chemical equation for the reaction of FeO with sulfuric acid follows:
By stoichiometry of the reaction:
If 1 mole of iron (II) sulfate is produced by 1 mole of FeO
So, 0.200 moles of iron (II) sulfate will produce = of FeO
The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:
We know, molar mass of = 71.84 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the mass of required is 14.37 g
