1 AnswerChemistry9 years agohow does the catalyst work?
Which of the following are true
a. The catalyst increases the rate of the forward reaction and decreases the rate of the reverse reaction
b. The catalyst provides the necessary activation energy for the forward reaction to occur

2 AnswersChemistry9 years agoQuestion about balanced molecular equations?
I need to write a balanced molecular equation for the reaction between potassium iodide and lead nitrate.
2KI+Pb(NO3)2-->PbI2 + 2KNO3
Does it matter which goes first? For example could i write it like this..
2KI+Pb(NO3)2-->2KNO3 + PbI2
Why does K go with NO3 and Pb got with I? Is it because it forms a precipitate?

1 AnswerEconomics9 years agoWhat does this mean 118 ± 19 Pg of C (1 Pg of C = 1015 g of C)?
In relation to ocean acidification. Full sentence below
Most previous estimates of oceanic uptake of CO2 were made using ocean circulation models calibrated with tracer observations. Recently, a large global data set of ocean tracer and carbon system observations has been acquired through the World Ocean Circulation Experiment/Joint Global Ocean Flux Study. These observations indicate a total ocean uptake of anthropogenic CO2 of approximately 118 ± 19 Pg of C (1 Pg of C = 1015 g of C) between 1800 and 1994 (1).
