Accepted Answer

The rate increases by a factor of 4.

Question 9

Which of the following is the correct equation for calculating the change in Gibbs free energy ($$\Delta G) at $$constant temperature?

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S$$

Accepted Answer

0.50 M

Question 11

Which of the following best describes the effect of a catalyst on a chemical reaction?

Accepted Answer
