Answer: D) decreasing the temperature lowers the average kinetic energy of the reactants.

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction decreases on decreasing the temperature because the energy of the reactant decreases and thus less molecules can cross the energy barrier.

Average kinetic energy is defined as the average of the kinetic energies of all the particles present in a system. It is determined by the equation:

$K=\frac{3RT}{2}$

From above, it is visible that kinetic energy is directly related to the temperature of the system. So, if temperature is less, average kinetic energy of the system is less and thus rate decreases.

Answer: The mass of nickel (II) oxide and aluminium that must be used is 18.8 g and 4.54 g respectively.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For nickel:

Given mass of nickel = 14.8 g

Molar mass of nickel = 58.7 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of nickel}=\frac{14.8g}{58.7g/mol}=0.252mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$3NiO(s)+2Al(s)\rightarrow 3Ni(l)+Al_2O_3(s)$

For nickel (II) oxide:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of nickel are produced from 3 moles of nickel (II) oxide

So, 0.252 moles of nickel will be produced from $\frac{3}{3}\times 0.252=0.252mol$ of nickel (II) oxide

Now, calculating the mass of nickel (II) oxide by using equation 1:

Molar mass of nickel (II) oxide = 74.7 g/mol

Moles of nickel (II) oxide = 0.252 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.252mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nickel (II) oxide}}{74.7g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nickel (II) oxide}=(0.252mol\times 74.7g/mol)=18.8g$

For aluminium:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of nickel are produced from 2 moles of aluminium

So, 0.252 moles of nickel will be produced from $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.252=0.168mol$ of aluminium

Now, calculating the mass of aluminium by using equation 1:

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Moles of aluminium = 0.168 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.168mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aluminium}}{27g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aluminium}=(0.168mol\times 27g/mol)=4.54g$

Hence, the mass of nickel (II) oxide and aluminium that must be used is 18.8 g and 4.54 g respectively.
