How does a catalyst increase the rate of a chemical reaction?

The solar wind carries mass away from the Sun at a rate of about 1.5 million tons per second (1 ton = 1000 kg). At this rate, how many years would it take for all of the Sun's mass to escape?

Ira is working in a lab with a unknown solution. When he inserts the electrical conductivity tester in the unknown, the bulb begins to glow brightly. Which of these would BEST describe the unknown liquid?

How much energy in joules does it take to raise the temperature of 255g of water by 12.5C

How can we determine which compound was present in a container labelled KNO3 or K2CO3 or KNO2?

3. Predict the mass of Na2S2O3that could be produced from 38.2 g of Na2S and unlimited quantities of the other reactants, based on the following unbalanced equation: Na2CO3 + Na2S + SO2--> Na2S2O3 + CO2 a. If the procedure produced only a 68.
