The answer is to increase the surface area of the solute.
You see it dissolves faster because there is a lot more water touching it when it is has a higher surface area.This can be achieved by crushing

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we crush a solute then there will be increase in number of solute particles. This means that there is increase in surface area of solute particles.

Hence, more is the surface area of solute particles more will be the collisions between solute and solvent particles. Therefore, more will be rate of reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that we crush solids before putting them into a solvent to increase the surface area of the solute.

K-40 is a radioactive isotope of potassium that undergoes beta decay. What is the product of this decay
Aleks [24]

Answer:

⁴⁰₂₀Ca + ⁰₋₁e

Explanation:

Beta decay:

Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.

Properties of beta radiations:

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminium is used to block the beta radiation

⁴⁰₁₉K → ⁴⁰₂₀Ca + ⁰₋₁e

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.

Why is fractional distillation not used to produce drinking water from sea water?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Please mark me brainliest. the answer is

Explanation:

The problem is that the desalination of water requires a lot of energy. Salt dissolves very easily in water, forming strong chemical bonds, and those bonds are difficult to break. Energy and the technology to desalinate water are both expensive, and this means that desalinating water can be pretty costly.

Use the equation: 2 kclo3 2 kcl + 3 o2 to write the mole ratio needed to calculate: (a) moles of kcl produced from 3.5 moles of
poizon [28]

Answer:-

(a) 3.5

(b) 3

Explanation:-

2KClO3 --> 2KCl + 3 O2

From the equation we see that 2 moles of KClO3 gives 2 moles of KCl.

So 3.5 moles of KClO3 will give 3 moles of KCl.

Again

3 moles of O2 are produced with 2 moles of KCl.

If 4.5 moles of O2 produced then

moles of KCl = 4.5 x 2/3

=3

A gas that exerts a pressure of ? bar in a container with a volume of 0.5650 L will exert a pressure of 715.1 bar when transferr
uranmaximum [27]
Robert Boyle, the 17th century British chemist, first noticed that the volume of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when kept at a constant temperature. When working with ideal gases we use PV = nRT, but remember n, R, and T are all constant. Therefore we have:

PV(before) = PV(after)

P(0.5650) = (715.1)(1.204)
