Predict how the addition of a catalyst would affect the rate of the reaction below, and explain your prediction H2 (g) + I2 (g)

yields 2 HI

The catalyst is defined as a chemical substance that helps increase the rate of the chemical reaction without being changed or affected by the reaction itself (the catalyst is not involved in the reaction, it only aids with increasing its speed).

Based on the above definition, adding a catalyst to the reaction:
H2 + I2 .........> 2HI
will increase the rate of the reaction. This means that the reaction will proceed faster and the product (HI) will be formed faster that the case where the catalyst is not added.

Hope this helps :)

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.

Direct electron transfer from a singlet reduced species to a triplet oxidizing species is quantum-mechanically forbidden
posledela

Direct electron transfer from a a singlet reduced species to a triplet oxidizing species is quantum-mechanically forbidden.

<h3><u>Transfer from singlet to triplet:</u></h3>
  • Either an excited singlet state or an excited triplet state will occur when an electron in a molecule with a singlet ground state is stimulated (through radiation absorption) to a higher energy level.
  • All electron spins in a molecule electronic state known as a singlet are coupled.
  • In other words, the ground state electron and the stimulated electron's spin are still coupled (a pair of electrons in the same energy level must have opposite spins, per the Pauli exclusion principle).
  • The excited electron and ground state electron are parallel in a triplet state because they are no longer coupled (same spin).
  • It is less likely that a triplet state would arise when the molecule absorbs radiation since excitation to a triplet state necessitates an additional "forbidden" spin transfer.

40o+2 protons electrons And neurons
KatRina [158]

Answer: There are few simple rules to follow.

(1) The atomic number is equal to the number of protons.

Z

= number of protons

(2) In neutrally charged elements, the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.  

Z

= number of protons = number of electrons (no charge)

Otherwise, positive charge means that the element lost an electron and negative charge means it gained an electron.

(3) The atomic mass is equal to the sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons.

A

= number of protons + number neutrons  

or

A

=  

Z

+ number neutrons

So if you say that  

Z

= 20 and  

A

= 40, then

A

=  

Z

+ number neutrons

40 = 20 + number of neutrons

40 - 20 = number of neutrons

Therefore,

number of neutrons = 20

how many grams of phosphorus (P4) react with 35.5L of O2 at STP to form solid tetraphosphorus decaoxide
algol [13]

Answer:

mass P4 = 35.998 g

Explanation:

  • P4 + 5O2 → P4O10

∴ STP: P = 1 atm; T = 298 K

∴ V O2= 35.5 L

⇒ nO2 = P.V / R.T

∴ R = 0.082 atm.L/K.mol

⇒ nO2 = ((1 atm)×(35.5L))/((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(298K))

⇒ nO2 = 1.453 mol O2

⇒ mol P4 = (1.453 molO2)×(mol P4/ 5molO2) = 0.2906 mol P4

∴ Mw P4 = 123.895 g/mol

⇒ mass P4 = (0.2906 mol P4)×(123.895 g/mol) = 35.998 g P4

An unknown compound contains only C , H , and O . Combustion of 4.20 g of this compound produced 10.3 g CO 2 and 4.20 g H 2 O .
vodomira [7]

Answer:

C4H8O

Explanation:

We can get the answer through calculations as follows.

From the mass of carbon iv oxide produced, we can get the number of moles of carbon produced. We first divide the mass by the molar mass of carbon iv oxide. The molar mass of carbon iv oxide is 44g/mol

The number of moles of carbon iv oxide is 10.3/44 = 0.2341

Since there is only one carbon atom in CO2, the number of moles of carbon is same as above

The mass of carbon in the compound is simply the number of moles multiplied by the atomic mass unit. The atomic mass unit of carbon is 12. The mass of carbon in the compound is thus 12 * 0.2341= 2.8091

From the number of moles of water, we can get the number of moles of hydrogen. To get the number of moles of water, we need to divide the mass of water by its molar mass. Its molar mass is 18g/mol. The number of moles here is thus 4.2/18 = 0.2333

But there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in 1 mole of water and thus, the number of moles of hydrogen is 2 * 0.2333 = 0.4667 moles

The mass of hydrogen is thus 0.4667* 1 = 0.4667

The mass of oxygen equals the mass of the compound minus that of hydrogen and that of carbon.

= 4.2 - 0.4667 - 2.8091 = 0.9242

The number of moles of oxygen is the mass of oxygen divided by its atomic mass unit.

That equals 0.9242/16 = 0.0577625 moles

The empirical formula can be obtained by dividing the number of moles of each by the smallest which is that of oxygen

H = 0.4667/0.0577625 = 8

O = 0.0577625/0.0577625 = 1

C = 0.2341/0.0577625 = 4

The empirical formula is thus C4H8O
