Which statement is true regarding the function of a catalyst in a chemical reaction?.

Chemistry
1 answer:
guajiro [1.7K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

You didn't give any options/statements, so I'm just going to give you context on what catalysts does. Catalysts decrease the activation energy needed, allowing more particles for successful reactions.

I know my colleague tried doing an experiment by using hydrogen peroxide as a catalyst and seeing how rates of reactions were affected. It ended up with a stain on our chemistry lab and him re-doing his entire lab.

• Liquid at room temperature
•Gas at room temperature
• Argon has approximately the same solubility in water as oxygen and is 2.5 times more soluble in water than nitrogen. Argon is colorless, odorless, nonflammable and nontoxic as a solid, liquid or gas. Argon is chemically inert under most conditions and forms no confirmed stable compounds at room temperature.

7. An element's most stable ion forms an ionic compound with chlorine having the formula XCl2. If the ion of element X has a mas
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The element is strontium and the number of neutrons it have is 51.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ionic compound is,  

XCl₂ ⇔ X₂⁺ + 2Cl⁻

X2+ is the ion of the mentioned element

As mentioned in the given question, the number of electrons of the element X is 36 and as seen from the reaction the charge present on the ion is +2. Now the atomic number will be,  

No. of electrons = atomic number - charge

36 = atomic number - 2

Atomic number = 38

Based on the periodic table, the atomic number 38 is for strontium element, and the sign of strontium is Sr. Hence, the element X is Sr.  

Now based on the given information, the mass number of the element is 89. Now the no. of neutrons will be,  

No. of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

= 89 - 38

= 51 neutrons.

How many molecules are in 7.62 L of CH4, at 87.5°C and 722 torr
pickupchik [31]

Answer: There are 1.469 \times 10^{23} molecules present in 7.62 L of CH_4 at 87.5^{o}C and 722 torr.

Explanation:

Given : Volume = 7.62 L

Temperature = 87.5^{o}C = (87.5 + 273) K = 360.5 K

Pressure = 722 torr

1 torr = 0.00131579

Converting torr into atm as follows.

722 torr = 722 torr \times \frac{0.00131579 atm}{1 torr}\\= 0.95 atm

Therefore, using the ideal gas equation the number of moles are calculated as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

PV = nRT\\0.95 atm \times 7.62 L = n \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 360.5 K\\n = \frac{0.95 atm \times 7.62 L}{0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 360.5 K}\\= \frac{7.239}{29.59705}\\= 0.244 mol

According to the mole concept, 1 mole of every substance contains 6.022 \times 10^{23} atoms. Hence, number of atoms or molecules present in 0.244 mol are calculated as follows.

0.244 mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\= 1.469 \times 10^{23}

Thus, we can conclude that there are 1.469 \times 10^{23} molecules present in 7.62 L of CH_4 at 87.5^{o}C and 722 torr.

1. Define fission and fusion. Give an example of fission and fusion reflecting in real life application.
Alja [10]

Answer :

  • Nuclear fission : In nuclear reaction, the nucleus of a larger atom breaks into two or more smaller nuclei. In fission process, protons and neutrons are produced and larger amount of energy is released.

Example : In nuclear power plant, the energy released from the process of nuclear fission which is converted into electrical energy that is used in our homes and factories.

  • Nuclear fusion : In nuclear reaction, the nuclei of two or more smaller atoms combine together to form single larger molecule. In fusion process, the mass of the resulting nuclei is more as compared to the starting nuclei and large amount of energy is also released.

Example : This process occurs in the sun and stars. In this, the isotopes of Hydrogen, Tritium and Deuterium combine together to form a neutron and a helium atom under high pressure and temperature.
