Answer:
.A catalyst provides an alternate mechanism for the reaction
Explanation:
The catalyst provides a mechanism of reaction having the lowest activation energy. It lowers the energy barrier between reactants and products hence it increases the rate of reaction by several orders of magnitude
HNO₃(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l)
H⁺ + NO₃⁻ + Na⁺ + OH⁻ → Na⁺ + NO₃⁻ + H₂O
H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O (the net ionic equation)
Sent a pic of your problem and worked it out.
There are five states of matter out of which we encounter three states of matter in our day today life
a) gas b) solid and c) liquid
the main difference between the three is of
a) Inter molecular forces of attraction
b) thermal energy
due to this
a) solid has high intermolecular forces and low thermal energy: thus they have fix shape and occupy fix volume
b) liquid has intermediate forces and medium themal energy. Thus they may have fixed volume and but no fix shape
c) gas has weak intermoelcular forces and high thermal energy. thus they have no fixed volume no fix shape
so in the given problem
the state of the substance D- Gas.
