What is the difference between a reactant and a catalyst?

A reactant is consumed in a reaction to make products. A catalyst is not consumed during the reaction. It is either not directly involved in the reaction or regenerated upon the end of the reaction. This is the main difference. In addition, catalysts work by decreasing the activation energy for the reaction, allowing the reactants to react more easily.


Check engine light on scanned and found 02 sensor is faulty can't afford replacement at this time how long can you drive like this 2001 Chevy tracker?

I'm not really certain of an answer for this one, but my guess is a long time. The only side effects I can imagine are poor gas mileage, and more emissions, which means you won't pass an emissions test. If these are no consequence, then you should be able to drive it for a long time without mechanical damage, but I'm not really sure. My EGR valve ( part of the exhaust system) went on my 2000 tracker and I drove for approx. 300 miles before repairiong it and all I got was lousy gas mileage. Sorry I couldn't be more definite I have been a technician for approx 34 years. As far as I know bad exhaust gas oxygen sensor or heated exhaust gas oxygen sensor (EGO or HEGO) can cause some problems if it is "stuck" on lean will cause engine to run rich and damage the expensive catlyst convertor short term or if stuck on rich will cause engine to run too lean causing convertor overheat possible fire and convertor damage. I have seen convertors with this problem becomeing glowing orange hot with damage to floor carpets ect ect. A careful assessment of problem would be a good idea. The EGO,HEGO is the last read of the computer and many things can cause a code, from a dirty air filter to small vaccumn leak (cracked hose ect) on some systems like BMW it can be activated by the dipstick not being properly seated


How do you date antique brass bed by serial number?

+a through study of the word "brass beds" exposes the beds to have began when brass was first part of the bed frame. Actual brass beds consisting of headboards and footboards came later, from france, when it was discovered a phylum infestation that had plagued mankind for ages was eradicated by the copper oxcide brass emmits causing the worm eggs not to hatch. The worms would leave the human body during the egg laying part of their cycle, deposit the eggs on the head and footboards, after hatching the tiny worms would ballup and roll into contact with the body, reenter the body and began their cycle again. The french first discovered this, and by 1860 were exporting almost 10,000 beds per week. The other countries patent archieves illustrate the brass beds arrival in countries like canada and the USA, as well as france, the country showing the earliest patents, The original documentation revealing the actual history of brass beds including the ones where the frame included brass, or the ones where ornamental parts were of brass is widespread, however, the patent archieves tell the real story, including the early brass beds that had the brass in the bed frame the mattress rests upon. Thus there are seveal catagories of brass beds, however, the so-called solid brass beds came from the worm infestation resolution. It is interesting to note earlier versions of victorian brass beds did not fall in this catagory, since they were embellished with brass parts, a fashion thing. In fact the average person does not consider all the different types when considering the origin and history of brass beds, and are seemingly confused in their claims as to what they are actually claiming. It is more complex than any normal person would think about, brass beds of significantly different types given the same name. Interesting to note is the fact that non-military manufacturing companies were not permitted to use brass for the construction of any non-military goods at the time of WW1, This became a part of the rationing laws enacted by congress, in the case of brass, it was because of shell casings, made from brass. After the war the worm infestation was eradicated and Brass beds were made again beginning only in the early 1970's, however there were tinkerers who were involved in refurbishing brass beds, necessary because virtually all the old brass beds were assembled with cold rolled hardware, which age hardens and crystalizes in less than 40 years, causing the screws that held the beds together to fail. The beds simply fall apart. There are no functioning antique brass beds older than 40 years, made by manufacturing companies. the study of materials science reveals this fact combined with patent archieves, and manufacturing company histories. Brassplated beds, or iron beds electroplated with brass and then laquered, were produced for a time by the simmons mattress company near the 1940's.The famous victorian brass bed in the crystal palace in the early 1800's upon examination is revealed to be a bed made of iron tubing and embellished with brass ornamentation, It is not a solid brass bed.There are many claims about brass beds origins being before the french began to make them to eliminate the worm infestation, The sources are confused about the different characteristics of; iron beds embellished with brass, Bed frames part brass, brass plated beds and headboards, and Actual solid or pure brass beds, even these are mostly assembled with iron or steel hardware. The only company making brass beds from solid brass and welding, or brazing them in the assembly, without steel or iron hardware, was Constance Cox Brass Beds, who operated from 1972 until 1994, In canada, and for a time with design studios in Montreal, Ottawa, and Orlando. The Company was ended by the Quebec Government during their time of ethnic cleansing anglos, and/or procanadian citizens from quebec, in their bid to separate from canada and create a unilingual french country in North America. Quebec holds referendums to separate from time to time, and closely control the election ballot choices, permitting only separatists in their provincial government, which is the 2nd largest federal political party in canada, which is a bilingual country, english and french are equal in all legal aspects of canada. Google, " Ethnic cleansing Anglos from Quebec ". The brass 70% copper and 30% zinc only became commercially available as a spinoff of the brass used at constance cox brass bed company and originated from the time microwave furnaces were used in the tube mills, permitting brass to be melted in the absense of air, to be made without lead, which caused it to turn black, as lead was used as a catlyst to get the zinc and copper to mix, in the older oil, gas, and coal fired furnaces. however most brass beds are made with low concentrations of lead and have to be coated to keep them from turning black. Brass has as much as 40% lead, used in brass parts for the lamp industry.Read more: How_do_you_authenticate_antique_brass_bed
