What do coal, petroleum, and wood have in common? Select one or more:

A. All are categorized as renewable resources

B. All are considered nonrenewable resources

C. All can be considered inexhaustible resources

D. All can be categorized as energy resources

B. All are considered nonrenewable resources

D. All can be categorized as energy resources.

Explanation:

Non renewable resources are the resources that are in fixed quantity and can be used up. These include wood, petroleum, coal, steel, aluminum etc.

An energy resource simply refers to the resources that can be used to produce heat or electricity such as wood, petroleum, coal etc.

Coal, petroleum and wood are not renewable resources and they're not inexhaustible. They are exhaustible and non renewable resource.

Therefore, the correct options are B and D.

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
