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

At what temp will a gas be at if you allow it to expand from an original 456 mL to 65°C to 3.4 L
alexira [117]
We use the gas law named Charle's law for the calculation of the second temperature. The law states that,
                                          V₁T₂ = V₂T₁
Substituting the known values,
                                (0.456 L)(65 + 273.15) = (3.4 L)(T₁)
                                             T₁ = 45.33 K
