- Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?arrow_forwardMany conditions need to be met to produce a chemical reaction between molecules. What if all collisions between molecules resulted in a chemical reaction? How would life be different?arrow_forwardAfter adding a catalyst, what did you notice about the reaction rate?arrow_forward
- Products will form faster if the particle size of the reactants are larger. temperature is decreased. concentration of the reactants are increased. O the reaction is not stirred.arrow_forwardBecause there is stability in reactants, A) before two reactants can form products, they must overcome an activation energy B) they can form products if one reactant loses some activation energy C) they can never form products, unless there in a huge input of energy D) they can never form productsarrow_forwardRate of Reaction Do all colliding particles react and form new products? What is the minimum amount of energy needed for the reaction to occur?arrow_forward
- Consider this reaction diagrams where R is reactants and P is products. What would the reaction diagram look like if a catalyst was added?arrow_forwardA reaction was carried out by mixing 10.00 ml of a 0.60 M solution of blue vegetable dye and 2.50 ml of 0.67 M sodium hypochlorite solution which lasted 45.0 seconds. If the same reaction were carried out using 10.00 ml of the plant dye solution and 5.00 ml of the sodium hypochlorite solution, what would happen more likely? Choose one a. The speed increases. b. The speed decreases. c. The blue color does not disappear. d. The absorbance of the mixture increases.arrow_forwardA bimolecular reaction can involve a single reactantarrow_forward
- In an experiment, sulfuric acid reacted with different volumes of sodium thiosulfate in water. A yellow precipitate was formed during the reaction. A cross drawn at the base of each flask became gradually invisible due the formation of this yellow precipitate. The time taken for the cross to become invisible was recorded. A partial record of the experiment is shown. Based on your knowledge of factors that affect the rates of chemical reactions, predict the trend in the last column of the experimental record. Use complete sentences to explain the trend you predicted. You do not have to determine exact values for time; just describe the trend you would expect (increase or decrease) and why it occursarrow_forward2. In terms of collision theory, When is a chemical reaction occurs? A. chemical bonds are broken by a catalyst. B. two reactant molecules collide with each other. C. reactants collide with sufficient energy to form new bonds. D. reactants collide with sufficient energy to break bonds in the reactantsarrow_forwardAccording to collision theory, the molecules must have enough energy when they collide to cause chemical bonds to break and form. In other words, for a reaction to happen. What do we call the minimum energy required to initiate a chemical reaction? Choose from the choices below: Activation energy Collision energy Heat energy Reaction energyarrow_forward
