Answer:
E
Explanation:
A catalyst is a substance which alters the rate of a chemical reaction. We check for the correctness of each of the options as follows:
A. Is wrong.
A catalyst can increase the rate of the forward and backward reaction
B. Is wrong
A catalyst does not slow the reverse reaction only. This particular case is the case of a negative catalyst
C is wrong
A catalyst has no effect on the equilibrium nor the equilibrium constant
D is wrong
Catalyst has no effect on equilibrium value
E is correct
Although Catalysts has no effect on equilibrium or its constant value, it can increase the the rate at which equilibrium is achieved by speeding up the reaction through bringing down the activation energy
Balanced reaction for formation of water is ;
2H2 + O2 —> 2H2O
Stoichiometry of H2 to H20 is 2:2
1 mol of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L
Therefore it 22.4 L contains 1 mole
Then 1.24 L has -1/22.4 x 1.24 = 0.055 mol
Number of water moles formed = 0.055 mol
Therefore mass of water formed = 0.055 mol x 18 g/mol = 0.99 g of water is formed
D) Hail. Hail is frozen rain
The answer is all of them, so the letter choice a
