Explanation:
A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction allowing them to proceed faster than they would naturally. Activation energy is the free energy that is required to be input in the reactant side to activate them to the transition state after which the reaction proceeds spontaneously to products.
An example of a catalyst is platinum, that is put in the exhaust of cars, to help convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide before it is emitted into the air.
Answer:
2 molecules of water represents 3.32 x 10^-24 moles of water.
Explanation:
To find the solution to this problem, you have to use the concept of Avogadro´s number, that is in 1 mol of any element o compound there are 6.022 x 10^23 molecules. Then,
1 mol H2O ------------- 6.022 x 10^23 molecules
x= 3.32 x 10^-24 ---- 2 molecules.
2 molecules of water represents 3.32 x 10^-24 moles of water.
Answer:
Where can you find most of Earth's liquid freshwater?
Explanation:
Over 68 percent of the fresh water on Earth is found in icecaps and glaciers, and just over 30 percent is found in ground water. Only about 0.3 percent of our fresh water is found in the surface water of lakes, rivers, and swamps.
Hope that helped, i also have snap if you need me.
To answer this question, you need to know <span>Graham's Law of Effusion/Diffusion formula. In this formula, the rate of diffusion/effusion would be influenced by the mass. As the molecule has bigger mass, the rate should be slower because it will be harder to pass the membrane. The calculation should be:</span>
<span>Rate 1 / Rate 2 = √[M2/M1]
</span>4.11/1= √[M2/2]
M2=33.78 g/mol
<span>Starch and
cellulose have the same substance but different structures. They are both
polysaccharides. The basic unit of a polysaccharide is the glucose. Glucose,
which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, have two forms. The alpha-glucose
with an alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is down and the beta-glucose with
the alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is up. Starch is the alpha-glucose while
cellulose is the beta-glucose. Starches are linked into a straight chain whereas
the cellulose are connected like a pile of stack paper. When the human body
eats starch, it can digest the starch but not the cellulose because it has no
enzyme that can break it down. </span>
