Which of the following statements is true about catalysts? and why?

a. catalysts slow down the rate of chemical reactions
b. all catalysts are enzymes
c. catalysts are used up during a chemical reaction
d. catalysts lower the activation energy of a chemical reaction

alienation, transformation, consumption, and the relativity of truth.

you can choose any one of these, they are all important themes.

these themes reflect the distinct sensibilities of both the modernist and postmodern aesthetic movements. (from google, you should paraphrase)

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g
