Answer:
Option 3. The catalyst does not affect the enthalpy change (
) of a reaction.
Explanation:
As its name suggests, the enthalpy change of a reaction () is the difference between the enthalpy of the products and the reactants.
On the other hand, a catalyst speeds up a reaction because it provides an alternative reaction pathway from the reactants to the products.
In effect, a catalyst reduces the activation energy of the reaction in both directions. The reactants and products of the reaction won't change. As a result, the difference in their enthalpies won't change, either. That's the same as saying that the enthalpy change of the reaction would stay the same.
Refer to an energy profile diagram. Enthalpy change of the reaction measures the difference between the two horizontal sections. Indeed, the catalyst lowered the height of the peak. However, that did not change the height of each horizontal section or the difference between them. Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction stayed the same.
Explanation:
When we add a non-volatile solute in a solvent then due to the impurity added to the solution there will occur an increase in the boiling point of the solution.
This increase in boiling point will be known as elevation in boiling point.
As one beaker contains seawater (water having NaCl) will have some impurity in it. So, more temperature is required by seawater to escape into the atmosphere.
Whereas another beaker has only pure water so it is able to easily escape into the atmosphere since, it contains no impurity.
Thus, we can conclude that level of pure water will decrease more due to non-volatile solute present in it as compared to seawater.
Answer:
176984.38J
Explanation:
E = mC∆T
Where E is the energy in joules
M is the mass of water
C is the specific heat capacity of water =4.184J/g°C
It is known that it will take 4.184J of energy to change the temperature of water by one degree Celsius.
∆T = 98.6°c - 5.4°c
= 93.2°c
∆H = 454.3g × 4.18J/g°C × 93.2°c
= 176984.3768
176984.38J
