Answer:

induced dipole-dipole forces or London Dispersion forces / van der Waals forces.

Explanation:

Hexane is non-polar in nature. This is due to :

The bond in the molecule is C-H, which is non-polar in nature because the carbon and the hydrogen having very similar electronegativity values.

Hexane is also symmetric.

The intermolecular force acting in the molecule of the hexane are induced the dipole-dipole forces or London Dispersion forces / van der Waals forces.

Answer:

a. The second run will be faster.

d. The second run has twice the surface area.

Explanation:

The rate of a reaction is proportional to the surface area of a catalyst. Given the volume (V) of a sphere, we can find its surface area (A) using the following expression.

$A=\pi ^{1/3} (6V)^{2/3}$
