What is altered by a catalyst? a) average kinetic energy of products

b) activation energy

c) difference between the energies of products and reactants

d) average kinetic energy of reactants

Which statements are true concerning mineral formation? check all that apply. the slower the cooling, the larger the crystals. the faster the cooling, the smaller the crystals. crystals formed from magma are smaller than crystals formed from lava. minerals can only form in solutions when the solution is heated deep underground. when a solution cools, elements and compounds leave the solution and crystallize as minerals. minerals formed from hot water solutions can form narrow channels in the surrounding rock.

How does a catalyst increase the speed of a reaction? a. the catalyst eliminates the activated complex stage, allowing products to form immediately. b. the catalyst lowers the energy level of the reactants, making it easier for them to react. c. the catalyst makes it easier for the activated complex to form, lowering the activation energy. d. the catalyst raises the energy level of the products, making the reaction finish sooner. reset next

You are attempting to recrystallize a crude product mixture. you add the appropriate amount of hot solvent and are allowing the solution to slowly cool to room temperature. however, at room temperature no crystals have appeared, which of the following methods should be used to induce crystallization? choose all correct answers. a) place the flask in an ice bath. b) swirl the contents of the flask. c) add a small seed crystal of the desired product. d) scratch the inside of the glassware using a stir rod. it can be multiple choices
