Select all that apply. catalysts can save money by essentially lowering the: *activation energy *cost of reactants *reaction speed *temperature required *starting enthalpy (e1)

Options (a) and (d) are the correct answer.

Explanation:

A catalyst is the substance which helps in increasing the rate of reaction.

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by reactants to start the reaction. On addition of catalyst, the path of reaction changes because the energy barrier gap reduces and hence, the activation energy also decreases.

In the absence of catalyst, we need to increase the temperature so that reaction can occur quickly.

Whereas on addition of catalyst, there is no need to increase the temperature as the catalyst itself is sufficient to increase the rate of reaction. As a result, temperature should be lowered when there is addition of catalyst in the reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that catalysts can save money by essentially lowering the activation energy and temperature required.

Activation Energy & Temperature Required

b.

the accuracy of the data.

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
