Answer:
Addition of a catalyst can speed up a reaction by providing an alternate reaction pathway that has a lower activation energy
Explanation:
A catalyst is an agent that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternate pathway for the reaction that requires a lower activation energy. As the requirement for activation energy is less in the presence of a catalyst, there are more reactant particles becoming involved in the chemical reaction and as such there are more products formed per unit time, or there is an increase in the rate of the reaction
Example of catalyst include
1. Addition of potassium permanganate to hydrogen peroxide to aid in the rapid decomposition into water and oxygen
2. Platinum serves as a catalyst in the complete combustion of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide.
Answer:
<u>49 moles of atoms</u>
Explanation:
There are 7 individual atoms in each molecule of H2SO4: (2 hydrogens + 1 sulfur + 4 oxygens).
Therefore, if 7 moles are decomposed, there would be 7 times that amount of individual atoms:
7 x 7 = 49 moles of atoms
<span>explain why the dissolved component does not settle out of a solution -
</span><span>Before saturation, there are attractive forces between solute and solvent. after saturation, the capacity for the attractive forces is reached and no more solute can be dissolved</span>
Answer:
The second column on the periodic table of the chemical elements is collectively called the alkaline earth metal group: beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. Because the outer electron structure in all of these elements is similar, they all have somewhat similar chemical and physical properties.
Explanation:
Answer:
Determining the pH of substances such as purple grape juice and catsup using test strips can be difficult. Why?
Explanation:
Due to the tartaric acid present in these substances, this is a weak acid and is the predominant type of acid in grapes.
pH meters for these substances, measure the total acidity of the sample and convert it into tartaric acid concentration; The test strips are a qualitative method of measurement and their result can give different opinions.
