Is it a catalyst?

 

[Hyperion93]

I believe a catalyst is consumed, in order to speed up the reaction.

 

[Coronado]

the accelerant?

I've always been taught that a catalyst is not consumed.

 

[DisneyPhD]

Yes, its a catalyst. It participates in the reaction but when the reaction is done you have just as much catalyst as you did at the beginning of the reaction.

Next question.

What has the same mass as an electron, opposite charge and is ANTIMATTER?

 

[Coronado]

A positron..... now beam me up Scottie:lol:

 

[DisneyPhD]

A positron is correct!!!

How about multiple choice ...
Which color of light has the highest energy, Red, Blue, Yellow or Green?

 

[Hyperion93]
