Flat as more oxygen and water can react over it think of it like this would a cube rust faster than a sheet

Sample Response: The flat sheet will completely rust before the iron cube. Since they both have the same volume, the flat sheet has more surface area than the small cube. This means more particles are exposed on the flat sheet that can react in a chemical reaction

Which part of making a solution always releases energy?

emmainna [20.7K]

<span>The part of making a solution that always releases energy is the overall change in forming the solution. The answer is letter D. Although letters A, B and C can be viable answers but, it is not always the case. There are some substances that when you mix or separate them requires more energy or less energy. An example would be w</span>hen the formation (or enthalpy of formation) of carbon dioxide is negative, it means that it releases heat to the surroundings. When it releases heat to the surroundings, the reaction is exothermic. Another example is when you mix baking soda and muriatic acid, the resulting mixture is colder. When it is cold, it means that the reaction is endothermic. So the best answer is letter D.

Which type of formula represents the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of the elements in a compound?

sleet_krkn [62]

The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number shows the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. An example of this is the empirical formula for glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is C₃H₆O₃.

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Classify the outcomes based on whether they are caused by adding or removing a reactant from a chemical reaction. The rate of th

Mama L [17]

Explanation: To study the outcomes, we will apply Le-Chatelier's principle.

Le-Chatelier's principle states that if there is any disturbance in the conditions of the dynamic equilibrium, the position of equilibrium will counteract the change.

1) The rate of the forward reaction increases.

This will happen when we add the reactant to a chemical reaction. According to Le-Chatelier's principle, by increasing the reactant, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where this effect is minimal. Hence, forward reaction is favored.

2) The rate of the revere reaction increases.

This will happen when we remove the reactant from a chemical reaction. According to Le-Chatelier's principle, by removing the reactant, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where this effect is minimal. Hence, reverse reaction is favored.

3) The concentration of product increases.

This will happen when we add reactants to a chemical reaction. According to Le-Chatelier's principle, when we increase the concentration of reactants, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where this effect is minimal. Hence, the reaction will be in the forward direction which means that the concentration of product will increase.

4) The concentration of products decreases.

This will happen when we remove reactants from a chemical reaction. According to Le-Chatelier's principle, when we decrease the concentration of reactants, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where this effect is minimal. Hence, the reaction will be in the reverse direction which means that the concentration of reactants will increase or concentration of products will decrease.

To what are wax susceptible?

inna [77]

Wax is susceptible to heat. Wax is responds to heat addition. The forces in the wax when heat is added are being broken off and are much lesser as its original state. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.<span />
