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 boy found a solid metal box in his backyard. The box had been buried for so long, it was difficult to determine from what the
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Box is made up of <em>copper</em>, because density is <em>8.96  g/cm³.</em>

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of box = 17.63 cm³

Mass of box = 158 g

Which metal box is this = ?

Solution:

First we will calculate the density of box then we will compare it with the density value of given metals.

d = m/v

d = 158 g/ 17.63 cm³

d = 8.96  g/cm³

The calculated density is similar to the given density value of copper thus box is made up of copper.

Compare molecular &amp; covalent network crystal solid?​
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Molecular solids and covalent network solids are two types of solid compounds. The key difference between molecular solid and covalent network solid is that <em>molecular solid forms due to the action of Van der Waal forces </em>where as <em>covalent network solid forms due to the action of covalent chemical bonds.</em>

hope this helps
