Without a catalyst, a reaction may require very high temperatures in order to occur. How does a catalyst speed a reaction at low

temperatures? It raises the amount of energy required to break chemical bonds. It lowers the amount of energy required to break chemical bonds. It increases the concentration of the reactant particles. It decreases the concentration of the reactant particles.

The correct answer is "It lowers the amount of energy required to break chemical bonds."

Catalyst work by decreasing the activation energy of a chemical reaction. Activation energy is the minimum energy required to start a chemical reaction. For a chemical reaction to start the bonds in the reactant molecules are broken and new bonds are formed in the product molecules. Thus catalyst facilitate to break chemical bonds in reactants  by lowering the activation energy.

Why do strong bonds exist between water molecules? They have nonpolar structure. They are held together by hydrogen bonds. The h
Zolol [24]

Answer:

They are held together by hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are special dipole-dipole attractions between polar molecules in which a hydrogen atom is directly joined to a highly electronegative atom(oxygen or nitorgen or fluorine).

Such molecules includes water, alkanoic acids, ammonia and amines.

A hydrogen nucleus has a high concentration of positive charge. The bond is actually an electrostatic attraction between the hydrogen atom of one molecule and the electronegative atom(O or N or F).

Hydrogen bonds are very effective in binding molecules into larger units. Most substances that joins with hydrogen bonds have a higher boiling point and lower volatility.

This is why we have a strong intermolecular bond between water molecules.

The solvolysis of t-butyl bromide in methanol yields 2-methylpropene in an E1 reaction (among other products). What is the effec
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For a reaction that proceeds by E1 mechanism, the rate determining step involves the formation of the carbocation.  

The rate of formation of this carbocation depends only on the concentration of the t-butyl bromide since it is the only specie that enters into the rate equation.

Hence, when the concentration of t-butyl bromide is tripled, the rate of reaction is tripled.

Methanol does not enter into the rate equation hence doubling its concentration does not affect the rate of reaction.

At standard pressure, ammonia melts at 195 K and boils at 240 K. If a sample of ammonia at standard pressure is cooled from 200
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

I) the heat capacity of ammonia(s)

II) the heat capacity of ammonia(ℓ)

IV) the enthalpy of fusion of ammonia

Explanation:

Initially, ammonia at 200 K is liquid. To calculate the change of enthalpy from 200 K to 195 K (melting point) we need to know the heat capacity of ammonia(ℓ).

At 195, ammonia is in the transition from liquid to solid (solidification). To calculate the change of enthalpy in that process we need to know the enthalpy of solidification of ammonia, which has the same value but opposite sign to the enthalpy of fusion of ammonia.

From 195 K to 0 K, ammonia is solid. To calculate the change of enthalpy in that process we need to know the heat capacity of ammonia(s).
