Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf It \ lowers \ the \ activation \ energy \ and \ it \ speeds \ up \ chemical \ reactions }}

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance that <u>increases the rate</u> of a chemical reaction. Some examples are enzymes and acid-base catalysts.

They can do this by <u>lowering activation energy</u> (the energy needed to undergo a reaction) or modifying a certain mechanism in the reaction.

Catalysts are unique because they aren't consumed or used up in a reaction. They can be reused many times.

So, based on the information above, catalysts do not increase the activation energy or get consumed in the reaction. That leaves two correct answers: they lower the activation energy and speed up chemical reactions.

What is the mass of the solid NH4Cl formed when 75.5 g of NH3 is mixed with an equal mass of HCl? What is the volume of the gas
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer : The volume of the gas remaining is 56.5 liters.

The gas is hydrochloric acid and the formula of the gas is HCl.

The mass of NH_4Cl produced is, 110.7 grams.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

NH_3+HCl\rightarrow NH_4Cl

First we have to calculate the moles of NH_3 and HCl

\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }NH_3}{\text{Molar mass of }NH_3}

Molar mass of NH_3 = 17 g/mole

\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{75.5g}{17g/mole}=4.44mole

and,

\text{Moles of }HCl=\frac{\text{Mass of }HCl}{\text{Molar mass of }HCl}

Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mole

\text{Moles of }HCl=\frac{75.5g}{36.5g/mole}=2.07mole

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of HCl react with 1 mole of NH_3

So, 2.07 mole of HCl react with 2.07 mole of NH_3

From this we conclude that, NH_3 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and HCl is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

The remaining moles of HCl gas = 4.44 - 2.07 = 2.37 moles

Now we have to calculate the volume of the gas remaining.

Using ideal gas equation :

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of gas = 752 mmHg = 0.989 atm     (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = number of moles of gas = 2.37 moles

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of gas = 14.0^oC=273+14.0=287K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.989atm\times V=2.37mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 287K

V = 56.5 L

Now we have to calculate the moles of NH_4Cl

As, 1 mole of HCl react with 1 mole of NH_4Cl

So, 2.07 mole of HCl react with 2.07 mole of NH_4Cl

Now we have to calculate the mass of NH_4Cl

\text{ Mass of }NH_4Cl=\text{ Moles of }NH_4Cl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NH_4Cl

Molar mass of NH_4Cl = 53.5 g/mole

\text{ Mass of }NH_4Cl=(2.07moles)\times (53.5g/mole)=110.7g

Thus, the volume of the gas remaining is 56.5 liters.

The gas is hydrochloric acid and the formula of the gas is HCl.

The mass of NH_4Cl produced is, 110.7 grams.

Borane (BH3) adds to alkenes to form an alkylborane. In the first box draw the mechanism arrows, and in the second box draw the
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The reaction when the Borane (BH3) is add to an alkene and form an alkylborane is shown below.

Explanation:

The boron of the borane does not have extra electron pairs, in this way the double bond of the alkene attacks the boron and the hydrogen belonging to the borane adheres to the carbon that is more substituted, thus forming an alkyl borane.
