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

A sample of a monoprotic acid (ha) weighing 0.384 g is dissolved in water and the solution is titrated with aqueous naoh. if 30.
posledela
The formula for the monoprotic acid is taken as HA, reaction with base is as follows;
HA + NaOH ---> NaA + H₂O
Stoichiometry of acid to base is 1:1
At the neutralisation point, number of HA moles = number of base moles
Number of NaOH moles reacted = 0.100M / 1000 mL /L x 30.0 mL = 0.003 mol
Therefore number of HA moles reacted = 0.003 mol
the mass of acid 0.384 g
Therefore molar mass - 0.384 g/ 0.003 mol = 128 g/mol

Explain why very small cloud droplets of pure water evaporate even when the relative humidity is 100 percent.
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Very small cloud droplets of pure water evaporate even when the relative humidity is 100 percent because of the curvature of the droplets surface.

Explanation:

The curvature of a droplet's surface, the molecules present over the surface are much exposed to their surrounding, perhaps less tightly bound by the surface tension force and hence evaporate more speedily than molecules present over the plane surface. For which the saturation vapor pressure of the surface goes up slightly with the curvature of that surface and also with relative humidity. By which the surface is in the equilibrium to more than 100 percent.
