Increasing the surface area of the reactant by pelletizing the calcium carbonate, and increasing the concentration of hydrochloric acid resulted in increase in the rate of reaction.

<h3>What is reaction rate?</h3>

Reaction rate refers to the rate at which reactant molecules are consumed or the rate at which product molecules are formed.

The factors that affect reaction rate include:

Temperature
Concentration
Surface area of reactants
Nature of reactants
Presence of catalysts

Given an experiment to determine effect of surface area of reactants and concentration on reaction rate of dilute hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate:

It was observed that increasing the surface area of the reactant by pelletizing the calcium carbonate and increasing the concentration of hydrochloric acid made the reaction proceed faster.

In conclusion, reaction rate increases with increase in surface area.

Which of the following halogens has the weakest attraction for electrons?

Leokris [45]

Answer:

I

Explanation:

Among the halogens given in this problem, iodine has the lowest attraction for electrons.

This property is known as electronegativity.

Electronegativity is expressed as the relative tendency with which the atoms of the element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

As you go down the periodic group the electronegativity decreases.
The most electronegative element on the periodic table is fluorine.
Down the group, iodine is the least electronegative
This is due to the large size of its atom.

A chemist must prepare of 800.0 ml potassium hydroxide solution with a pH of 13.00 at 25Â°.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

4.48 grams is the mass of potassium hydroxide that the chemist must weigh out in the second step.

Explanation:

The pH of the solution = 13.00

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 13.00 = 1.00

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

$1.00=-\log[OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=10^{-1.00} M=0.100 M$

$KOH(aq)\rightarrow K^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)$

$[KOH]=[OH^-]=[K^+]=0.100 M$

Molariy of the KOH = 0.100 M

Volume of the KOH solution = 800 mL= 0.800 L

1 mL = 0.001 L

Moles of KOH = n

$Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume(L)}$

$0.100 M=\frac{n}{0.800 L}$

n = 0.0800 mol

Mass of 0.0800 moles of KOH :

0.0800 mol × 56 g/mol = 4.48 g

4.48 grams is the mass of potassium hydroxide that the chemist must weigh out in the second step.
