Which of the following would describe a substance acting as a catalyst? Vinegar is diluted and the rate of the reaction with baking soda decreases. This is because the more room you give the vinegar molecules, the faster they can move and collide with the baking soda. Manganese (IV) oxide is added to peroxide and the peroxide decomposes at a faster rate. The manganese (IV) oxide is not used up in the reaction and can be used again. More baking soda is added to vinegar and the rate of bubbling increases. This is because the activated complex is dependent on the baking soda to vinegar molar ratio. Heat is added and the reaction rate increases. The heat is acting as a catalyst because it lowers the activation energy.

12. What would happened to the rate of the reaction by decreasing the number of moles of reacting molecules, decreasing the temperature, and removing a catalyst?
The following diagrams show the chemical reaction with time: A = B If A is blue and B is orange, state whether or not the reaction has reached equilibrium in this time period. 1h 2 h Submit 23 Previous Answers Request Answer 4h The reaction has reached equilibrium because the volume of the system does not change; the volume of the system has not changed between 1 h and 4 h. O The reaction has not reached equilibrium because the rate of the reaction is still changing; the rate of the reaction has still changing between 1 h and 4 h. O The reaction has not reached equilibrium because the number of reactants and products is still changing; the concentrations of A and B are still changing between 3 h and 4 h. The reaction has reached equilibrium because total number of reactants and products does not change; total concentration of A and B has not changed between 1 h and 4 h. Revie
The rate of reaction depends upon Question 18 options: the concentration and nature of the reactants the temperature of the reaction whether or not a catalyst was used all of the above
Which one of the following statement is true about how catalyst works? Catalysts increase the rate of reaction by decreasing activation energy. Catalysts are used up in the reaction to increase the rate. Catalysts decreases the rate of reaction by speeding up the reverse reaction. Catalysts increases the rate of reaction by releasing heat.
Reaction rate can NOT be increased by Question 17 options: adding an effective catalyst to the system decreasing the concentration of the reactants increasing the surface area of the reactants increasing the temperature of the system

What statement about the catalyst is correct? it increases a value of the equilibrium constant It increases the number of collisions between reacting molecules. It makes the reaction more endothermic. It provides an alternative reaction mechanism with a lower activation energy. It shifts an equilibrium to the right
