Answer:
increases the frequency of particle collisions
Explanation:
One factor upon which the rate of reaction depends is the surface area of reactants.
According to the collision theory, reactions occur when reactant particles having the required (activation) energy collide with each other, this collision is inelastic. However, collision of particles having energies less than the activation energy results in elastic collisions and no chemical reaction.
The more the exposed surface area of reactants, the greater the number of particles that come into contact with each other and the more the chances of frequent effective collisions that lead to reaction.
Thus, powdered zinc reacts faster with hydrochloric acid than zinc strips
PV=nRT
P=nRT/V
P=[(0.650mol)(0.08206)(298K)]/(0.750L)=21.2atm
Answer:
Thermal decomposition or cracking
Explanation:
Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which are usually formed naturally. Petroleum undergo a host of chemical reactions. One of such is thermal decomposition or cracking.
Cracking is used in the petroleum industry to covert heavy fractions to more useful lighter ones.
When petroleum is subjected to high temperature and pressure, and in the presence of catalyst, the long chain type of petroleum will decompose into more useful smaller and lighter molecules.
Example is given below:
C₁₅H₃₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₃H₆ + 2C₂H₄
<u>Buffers</u> function by absorbing excess hydrogen or hydroxide ions.
