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

Here's the question ~
Lelechka [254]

Using the Rydberg formula, the spectral line of H - atom is suitable for this purpose is Paschen, ∞ → 3.

  • Using the Rydberg formula;

1/λ = RH(1/nf^2 - 1/ni^2)

Given that;

λ = wavelength

RH = Rydberg constant

nf = final state

ni = initial state

  • When final state = 3 and initial state = ∞

Then;

1/λ =  1 × 10^7 m-1 (1/3^2 - 1/ ∞^2)

1/λ =  1 × 10^7 m-1 (1/3^2 )

λ = 900 nm

Hence, the correct answer is Paschen, ∞ → 3

It was calculated that 4.3mL of 0.417 M HCl is required to titrate 11.9 mL of 0.151 M Mg(OH)2. Show evidence 2 HCl(aq) + Mg(OH)2
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the described chemical reaction:

2 HCl(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

We can notice there is a 2:1 molar ratio between the moles of hydrochloric acid and magnesium hydroxide, therefore, at the equivalence point:

n_{HCl}=2*n_{Mg(OH)_2}

And in terms of volumes and concentrations we verify:

V_{HCl}M_{HCl}=2*V_{Mg(OH)_2}M_{Mg(OH)_2}

So we use the given data to proof it:

4.3mL*0.417M=2*11.9mL*0.151M\\1.793=3.594

Therefore, we can conclude the data is wrong by means of the 2:1 mole ratio that for sure was not taken into account. This is also supported by the fact that normalities are actually the same, but the nomality of magnesium hydroxide is the half of the hydrochloric acid normality since the acid is monoprotic and the base has two hydroxyl ions.

Best regards.
