The table shows the conditions during two trials of a reaction.

The correct option is;

The reaction pathway for the trials is different

Explanation:

The effect of a catalyst in a chemical reaction is to increase the rate of a reaction by changing the pathway or mechanism of the reaction and/or to lower the transition state's energy thereby lowering the activation energy of the reaction

The pathway of the reaction is changed by the catalyst by the formation of intermediate compounds by the catalyst which require lower activation energy to form the products than the original non-catalyzed reactants. In the process the catalyst is regenerated, thereby, not taking part in the reaction.

answer; talc and gypsum;

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.
