A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 3.30kg of water at 23.8°C. During the reaction 112.kJ of heat flows out of the bath and into the flask. Calculate the new temperature of the water bath. You can assume the specific heat capacity of water under these conditions is 4.18·J·g−1K−1. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. °C

How does a catalyst increase the speed of a reaction? a. the catalyst eliminates the activated complex stage, allowing products to form immediately. b. the catalyst lowers the energy level of the reactants, making it easier for them to react. c. the catalyst makes it easier for the activated complex to form, lowering the activation energy. d. the catalyst raises the energy level of the products, making the reaction finish sooner. reset next
