The balanced reaction is 3Fe₂O₃(s) + CO(g) → 2Fe₃O₄(s) + CO₂(g). Rate of reaction is decrease in the concentration of reactant or increase in the concentration of product with unit time. To increase rate of any reaction either reactant concentration is to be increased. Here (a)  addition of Fe₃O₄ will decrease the reaction rate, rather it facilitates the reaction  to move backward direction, (b) temperature effect is not clear as it is not mentioned whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic, (c) if surface area of Fe₂O₃ is increased then more CO molecules can react with more Fe₂O₃ molecules at a time, therefore, reaction rate will increase, (d) increase in the volume of reaction vessel will not affect rate of reaction because reactant and product both have same volume of gaseous compound CO and CO₂ respectively.

So, increase in surface area of Fe₂O₃ would increase rate of the reaction.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C. increasing the surface area of Fe2O3

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The rate of reaction refers to the speed at which products are formed from reactants.
  • The rate of any chemical reaction depends on a number of factors which include, surface area, temperature, concentration of reactants among others.
  • <em><u>When solids and liquids react, increasing the surface area of the solid will increase the rate of reaction. Thus, decrease in the size of particles causes an increase in the total surface area of the solid and therefore increasing the rate of reaction.</u></em>

givi [52]

Answer:

First, we can test Solution 1. We know that Sodium Hydroxide is a strong base. If we test acids on blue litmus paper, they will turn red. If we test bases on red litmus paper, they will turn blue.  So, you can test all the of the solutions- water, sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid with blue and red litmus paper. HCl, Hydrochloric acid is an acid, so it will turn blue litmus paper red. It will not turn red litmus blue. The acids will turn blue litmus paper red. The bases will turn red litmus paper blue. Only water is a neutral liquid, which will not turn blue litmus paper red or red litmus paper blue. It will not change the colour of it. Thus, if you test all the solutions with blue and red litmus paper, you will know which solution is water.  Water is the only one which is neutral. It is the only solution which cannot change the colour of any litmus paper. Thus, you can identify it very easily.

What is avogrados number and why is it useful
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Avogadro's number is 6.022×1023 molecules. With Avogadro's number, scientists can discuss and compare very large numbers, which is useful because substances in everyday quantities contain very large numbers of atoms and molecules.

What geopolitical process returns carbon to the atmosphere in the from of carbon dioxide
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Recall that plants use water, atmospheric carbon dioxide, and energy from the sun to build their organic framework through photosynthesis. Therefore, plants draw down atmospheric carbon dioxide as part of their life habit. When plants die, the organic matter is oxidized and carbon dioxide is returned to the atmosphere.
