Path A-B-D involves a catalyst and is slower than A-C-D

Explanation:

The diagram above illustrates both the catalyzed path and the uncatalyzed path of a chemical reaction.

The catalysed path is the path expressed with broken lines and the uncatalyzed path is the path expressed with thick small line as shown in the diagram above.

The catalyzed path has a higher activation energy than the uncatalyzed path.

Therefore, the catalyzed path will be slower that the uncatalyzed path because, the catalyzed path will require a higher energy to overcome the activation energy in order for the reaction to proceed to product.

On the other hand, the uncatalyzed path has a lower activation energy and a lesser amount of energy is needed to overcome it in order for the reaction to proceed to product.

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
