Acatalyst increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed. it accomplishes this by providing another mechanism that has a lower activation energy.

The given statement is true.

Explanation:

A catalyst is defined as the substance that lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction without itself getting consumed so that there will be increase in rate of reaction.

As catalyst lowers the activation energy so, reactant molecules with lower energy also participates in the reaction. Hence, more collisions occur due to which there is rapid formation of products take place through another path.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement a catalyst increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed. It accomplishes this by providing another mechanism that has a lower activation energy, is true.

linda: 3 ; laura: 15

step-by-step explanation:

note that linda + laura's age is 18, and that linda is 12 years younger than her sister.

let "linda" = x , "laura" = y:

x + y = 18

x = y - 12

first, plug in y - 12 for x in the first equation:

(y - 12) + y = 18

simplify.

2y - 12 = 18

isolate the variable (y). note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. do the opposite of pemdas. first add, then divide.

2y - 12 (+12) = 18 (+12)

2y = 18 + 12

2y = 30

(2y)/2 = (30)/2

y = 30/2

y = 15

next, plug in 15 for y in the second equation (the other equation would work too).

x = y - 12

x = (15) - 12

x = 3

linda's age is 3, laura's age is 15.
