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.

It lowers the amount of energy required to break chemical bonds.

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.

Which action will slow down the rate of a reaction
Burka [1]

Answer is - Decreasing surface area of a solid reactant, rate of reaction can be slowed down.

Explanation: The quantity of a reactant species consumed or the quantity of product species formed in unit time in a chemical reaction is called rate of reaction. With passage of time, concentration of reactant decreases and concentration of product increases. Rate of reaction depends on various factors like- concentration of reactant, temperature, nature of reactant, catalyst and surface area of reactant.

By increasing the concentration of the reactants, rate of the reaction increases.

Presence of catalyst increases the rate of reaction.

With increase in temperature, kinetic energy of molecules increases which results to more number of effective collisions, so, rate of reaction increases.

With increase in the surface area of reactant, more number of molecules can react at a time and by decreasing the surface area of solid reactant rate of the reaction will  diminish/ decrease.

Which two terms relate and why? Energy level, neutron, spectral line
andre [41]

Energy level and spectral line

Explanation:

The energy levels and their spectral lines are related.

Based on the Bohr's model of the atom, he suggested that electrons occupy specific spherical orbits.

These orbits are called energy levels around the nucleus.

The spectral lines are the different colors emitted by atoms when they absorb or lose energy.

  • Electrons can transition between different energy levels when they acquire enough energy that corresponds to that of the energy level
  • By doing so, they emit energy in the process and this is seen as visible spectral lines.
  • Spectral lines are usually studies in order to gain more information about the properties of atoms.
