2N2O5(g) + 110 kJ ——> 4NO2(g) + O2(g)
The rate of the reaction is increased by:
a) add a catalyst
b) add a gas
c) add NO2
d) add O2
Solution
The rate of reaction is increased by adding a catalyst because a catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy needed to cross the energy barrier to give the products.
