A catalyst is a chemical substance that hastens the chemical reaction. This does not participates in the creating the product(s) but allows it to be formed easily. With this, it is now known that the rate of the reaction becomes relatively higher compared to the uncatalyzed reactions.
Therefore, the answer to this item is the rate of the reaction becomes faster.
Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
= 1.5 atm, 
= 20 L, 
= (28 + 273) K = 301 K
= 5 atm, 
= ?, 
= (50 + 273) K = 323 K
Formula to calculate the volume will be as follows.
= 
Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.
=
= 
= 0.64 L
Thus, we can conclude that the change in volume of the balloon will be 0.64 L.
We do a heat balance to solve this:
(m cp ΔT)water = -(m cp ΔT)metal
100.8 (4.18) (27 - 22) = -65 (cp)(27-100)
cp = 100.8 (4.18) (27 - 22) / (-65 (27-100))
cp = 0.44 J/ (°C × g)
The specific heat of the metal is 0.44 J/ (°C × g)
