5.00 g of copper(II) carbonate decomposes to form copper(II) oxide and carbon dioxide: CuCO3(g) → CuO(s) + CO2(g). Calculate the maximum mass of carbon dioxide that can be produced. (Mr of CuCO3 = 123.5, Mr of CO2 = 44.0)

What is a catalyst, and how does it affect the rate of reaction?

The Haber Process converts hydrogen and nitrogen into ammonia in the following exothermic reaction: 3H2+N2=2NH3. Explain the effect of increasing the pressure and why.
