In comparing the rates of reactions, how does the presence of a catalyst affect the activation energy ((E_a)) and the rate constant (k) of a reaction?
In comparing the rates of reactions, how does the presence of a catalyst affect the activation energy ((E_a)) and the rate constant (k) of a reaction?
- Increases \(E_a\), decreases k
- Decreases \(E_a\), increases k (correct)
- Decreases both \(E_a\) and k
- Increases both \(E_a\) and k
Consider a buffer solution prepared from a weak acid HA and its conjugate base A. Under what condition will the buffer be most effective at resisting changes in pH upon addition of strong acid or base?
Consider a buffer solution prepared from a weak acid HA and its conjugate base A. Under what condition will the buffer be most effective at resisting changes in pH upon addition of strong acid or base?
- When the concentration of HA is much greater than the concentration of A
- When the pH of the solution is far from the pKa of HA
- When the concentrations of HA and A are equal (correct)
- When the concentration of A is much greater than the concentration of HA
