What is a substance used to increase the rate of a chemical reaction but it itself is not used up in the process?

Problem page combustion of hydrocarbons such as pentane ( c5 h12 ) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere can trap the sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the earth. for this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide.(a) write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid pentane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. (b) suppose 0.350 kg of pentane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 20.0 degree c. calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced.be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Insoluble sulfide compounds are generally black in color. which of the following combinations could yield a black precipitate? check all that apply. na2s(aq)+kcl(aq) li2s(aq)+pb(no3)2(aq) pb(clo3)2(aq)+nano3(aq) agno3(aq)+kcl(aq) k2s(aq)+sn(no3)4(aq)

Nitric acid can be formed in two steps from the atmospheric gases nitrogen and oxygen, plus hydrogen prepared by reforming natural gas. in the first step, nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia: (g) (g) (g) in the second step, ammonia and oxygen react to form nitric acid and water: (g) (g) (g) (g) calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of nitric acid from nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen from these reactions. round your answer to the nearest .
