Given what you observe at the molecular/atomic level, why would surface area have this effect?
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Increasing the surface area of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions and increases the reaction rate. Several smaller particles have more surface area than one large particle. The more surface area that is available for particles to collide, the faster the reaction will occur.

What is the empirical formula of a compound that is made of 3.80g of phosphorus and 0.371g of hydrogen?
lys-0071 [83]

You start by diving each quantity given by the atomic wight of each element:

Phosphorus (P)   \frac{3.8}{31} =0.123

Hydrogen (H)   \frac{0.371}{1} =0.371

Then you divide by the lowest number:

\frac{0.123}{0.123} = 1 for phosphorus

\frac{0.371}{0.123} = 3 for hydrogen

So the empirical formula will be:    

PH_{3}

Identify the species oxidized. 2 al3+(aq) + 2 fe(s) → 2 al(s) + 3 fe2+(aq)
Sliva [168]
To know the answer, compare the oxidation number of the element in the reactant and the product side. The oxidation number of Al was originally +3, then became 0 after the reaction. On the other hand, Fe was originally 0, then became +2 after the reaction. When the element is oxidized, it oxidation number increases. <em>Thus, the element oxidized is Fe.</em>
