The change in temperature from 10 °C to 20 °C is found to double the rate of a particular chemical reaction. How did the change in temperature affect the reaction? The number of molecules colliding with sufficient energy to react increased. The number of molecules colliding with sufficient energy to react decreased. The activation energy increased. The activation energy decreased.

. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.
Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
What is the role of the activated complex in a chemical reaction?
The following equation represents a reversible decomposition: CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) Under what conditions will decomposition in a closed container proceed to completion so that no CaCO3 remains?
