Catalysts lower the activation energy required for a chemical reaction, making it easier for the reactants to collide and react, even at lower temperatures like 0 degrees Celsius. By providing an alternative reaction pathway, catalysts enable the reaction to proceed without the need for high thermal energy. This allows reactions that might otherwise be too slow or thermodynamically unfavorable at low temperatures to occur more efficiently.

What type of chemical reaction caused the disaster on the space shuttle challenger?

It wasn't a chemical reaction; it was a physical reaction. The O rings (a type of gasket sealing the sections of the booster rockets) became too brittle due to cold weather. They failed and allowed the flames from the booster to melt and then ignite the external fuel tank. It was oxygen and liquid hydrogen


Do objects that have an excess number of negative charges have electrical energy or a chemical reaction?

Objects with an excess of negative charges have electrical potential energy due to the separation of charges. When these charges are allowed to flow, they create an electrical current, releasing this stored energy in the form of electrical work. While chemical reactions involve the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, the excess negative charges in an object do not typically result in a chemical reaction.


Would mixing salt and water with red cabbage juice create a chemical reaction?

If allowed to sit in the right conditions, yes. It would allow for fermentation. These are the ingredients for fermented saurkraut.


What causes the chemical reaction in gak that causes it to become a solid?

The chemical reaction that causes Gak to become a solid is a cross-linking process between the polymers in the Gak solution. When the polymers are exposed to air and allowed to dry, they form hydrogen bonds and create a network structure, transforming the Gak from a liquid to a solid state.

How did gay-lussac's experiment allow the chemical formula of hydrogen gas and chlorine gas to be dedeced?

Gay-Lussac's experiment involved the combination of hydrogen and chlorine gases to form hydrogen chloride gas. By measuring the volume of the gases before and after the reaction, he observed that the volumes of the reactants and products were in simple whole number ratios, providing evidence for the law of combining volumes. This allowed him to deduce the chemical formula of hydrogen gas (H2) and chlorine gas (Cl2).


Why do duplicate tuples not allowed in a reaction?

Duplicate tuples are not allowed in a reaction because each reactant and product must be listed only once to accurately represent the stoichiometry of the reaction. Including duplicate tuples would result in an incorrect representation of the reactants and products involved, leading to inaccuracies in the reaction equation.

What happen if a chemical reaction takes place in an open system?

matter can enter from the surroundings, but cannot escape to the surroundings. matter is not allowed to enter from or escape to the surroundings. matter cannot move at all. matter can enter from or escape to the surroundings.


What chemical test could be used to confirm that the gas prodced in a chemical reaction is carbon dioxide?

The gas yielded from a chamical reaction should be allowed to pass through clean lime water. If the gas is CO2, it turns lime water milky by formation of CaCO3. This is the confirmatory test for CO2 gas
