The effect of a catalyst is to: change the stoichiometry of the reaction. lower the activation energy of a reaction whereby making it easier for the reactants to get over the energy hump. change the position of the equilibrium. increase the number of collisions between reactants. increase the temperature of the reactants whereby more products are forme

The size (radius) of an oxygen molecule is about 2.0 ×10−10m. make a rough estimate of the pressure at which the finite volume of the molecules should cause noticeable deviations from ideal-gas behavior at ordinary temperatures (t= 300k ). assume that deviatons would be noticeable when volume of the gas per molecule equals the volume of the molecule itself.
