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.

In the reaction 2H2O (1)+ 2Cl^- (aq)= H2(g)+Cl2 (g)+ 2OH^-(aq), which substance is reduced?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:- C. H

Explanations:- Reduction is gain of electron. In other words we could say that decrease in oxidation number is reduction.

As per the rules, oxidation number of hydrogen in its compounds is +1(except metal hydrides) and the oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2.

The oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

In H_2O , the oxidation number of H is +1 and oxidation number of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in Cl^- is -1. On product side, the oxidation number of hydrogen in H_2 is zero and in OH^- the oxidation number of H is +1 and that of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in Cl_2 is 0.

From above data, Oxidation number of O is -2 on both sides so it is not reduced.

Oxidation number of Cl is changing from -1 to 0 which is oxidation.

Oxidation number of H is changing from +1 to 0 which is reduction.

So, the right choice is C.H

padilas [110]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: C. The specific latent heat of fusion

Explanation:

A. The specific latent heat of vaporization  Specific latent heat of vaporization indicates the transition from liquid to vapor, but we are not looking for this definition. This answer is wrong.

B. The specific heat indicates the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of water 1°C, so this answer is wrong.

C. The specific latent heat of fusion . This heat indicate the transition from solid ie to liquid, so this is the right answer.

D. The internal energy measures the energy of the molecules of a substance, so this answer is wrong.

In what type of radioactive decay does the atomic number of the product decrease by one? Select all that apply.
VladimirAG [237]
The atomic number of the product decrease by one in the d) positron emission and the e) electron capture radioactive decay. These radioactive decays are two of three common forms of the Beta Decay which occurred when the proton released a positron and a neutron emitted an electron<span>. The Beta Decay can increase or decrease the atomic number.</span>
