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

The ph of a 0.55 m aqueous solution of hypobromous acid, hbro, at 25.0°c is 4.48. what is the value of ka for hbro?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Given:

 

pH of a 0.55 M hypobromous acid (HBrO) at 25.0 °C =  4.48

 

[H+] = 10^-4.48 = 3.31 x 10^-5 M = [BrO-] <span>

Ka = (3.31 x 10^-5)^2 / 0.55 = 2 x 10^-9</span>

 

To add, Hypobromous Acid does not require acid adjustment, which is necessary for chlorine-based product and is stable and effective in pH ranges of 5-9.<span>

</span>Hypobromous Acid combines with organic compounds to form a bromamine. Chlorine also combines with the same organic compounds to form a chloramine. <span>It is also one of the least expensive intervention antimicrobial compounds available.</span>

LenaWriter [7]

Answer is: this is an example of an Arrhenius acid.

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydrogen ions or protons (H⁺). 

For example hydrochloric acid: HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

An Arrhenius base is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions (OH⁻<span>). 
In this example lithium hydroxide is an Arrhenius base:</span>

LiOH(aq) → Li⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
