Ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water. ... The heavier water displaces the lighter ice, so ice floats to the top. One consequence of this is that lakes and rivers freeze from top to bottom, allowing fish to survive even when the surface of a lake has frozen over
Answer:
Rate depends on the rate constant. The rate constant depends on temperature and activation energy. If you have lower activation energy the rate will be higher. This is why catalysts are added since catalysts provide an alternate pathway that requires lower activation energy and catalysts are added to increase the rate of reaction.
Explanation:
This is only the answer if you were asking:
"Which corresponds to the faster rate: a mechanism with a small activation energy or one with a large activation energy?"
Thats what I understood about your question.
Hydrochloric acid + Sodium hydroxide =Sodium chloride +water
They push away from each other or repel due to the same charge they have.
