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

How many daltons is in an ion with 15 protons, 16 neutrons and 17 electrons?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
31  
A dalton is the same as an atomic mass unit. And an atomic mass unit is approximately the mass of a nucleon (proton or neutron) such that the mass is 1 g/mol. So in this problem you have 15 protons and 16 neutrons, so the number of daltons is 15 + 16 = 31.

s the purpose of the CaCl2 drying tube? What chemical reaction is it preventing (please supply a mechanism).
monitta

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A drying tube prevents moisture from contaminating the reactants. The drying tube contains CaCl2 a hygroscopic material whose function is to absorb the moisture so that it does not react with the Grignard reagent. Without the desiccating action of CaCl2, moisture will enter the reaction chamber,contaminating the reactants.

If water reacts with the Grignard reagent, an alkane is formed. The mechanism of this reaction is shown in the image attached. R here represents the alkyl moiety of the Grignard reagent.

(03.02 MC) A student made the Lewis dot diagram of a compound as shown. Ca is written with two dots shown on its top. Cl is writ
Alona [7]

The answer is The Ca atom should transfer only one electron to Cl, and the second electron should be transferred to another Cl atom.

the lewis dot structure of calcium chloride is as shown in the image attached:

one atom of Ca is giving its two electrons to chlorine atoms so that it makes ionic bond with chlorine, it gets +2 charge, and two chlorine atoms will get -1 negative charge respectively that is overall the compound is neutral.

The atmospheric pressure at 2000m altitude is 560. mmHg. What is the atmospheric pressure in atm? atm​
Lostsunrise [7]

This problem is providing the atmospheric pressure at 2000 m altitude which is 560. mmHg and asks for this pressure in units of atmospheres, which after doing the calculations, the result is 0.737atm.

<h3>Atmospheric pressure:</h3><h3 />

In this case, we can firstly define the concept of atmospheric pressure, also known as barometric pressure, as that pressure exerted by a column of air over a specific point in space at a defined altitude.

<h3>Units conversion in pressure:</h3><h3 />

In order to get the correct conversion, we use the following equivalence statement relating mercury millimeters and atmospheres:

760 mmHg = 1 atm

Hence, the required conversion turns out to be:

560.mmHg*\frac{1atm}{760mmHg}=0.737atm
