Why does surface area of a reactant influence the rate of the reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:

because it can influence how frequently and sufficiently the particles collide depending on the space it has to do so, for example a large surface area would be have a slower rate of reaction and a lower temperature. (the rate of reaction in terms of concentration, it is diffused from high to low)

GIVING BRAINLY !!!!!! Calculate the molar mass of MgBr2. “SHOW” Your work!
Dovator [93]

Answer:

184.113 g/mol

Explanation:  The atomic mass of Mg is 24.3 amu. The atomic mass of bromine is 79.9. Therefore, the formula weight of MgBr2 equals 24.3 amu + (2 × 79.9 amu), or 184.1 amu. Because a substance's molar mass has the same numerical value as its formula weight, the molar mass of MgBr2 equals 184.1 g/mol.

Phosphorous pentoxide, P2O5(s), is produced from the reaction between pure oxygen and pure phosphorous (P, solid). What is the v
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

4190.22 L = 4.19 m³.

Explanation:

  • For the balanced reaction:

<em>2P₂ + 5O₂ ⇄ 2P₂O₅. </em>

It is clear that 2 mol of P₂ react with <em>5 mol of O₂ </em>to produce <em>2 mol of P₂O₅.</em>

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 6.92 kilograms of P₂O₅ produced through the reaction:

no. of moles of P₂O₅ = mass/molar mass = (6920 g)/(283.88 g/mol) = 24.38 mol.

  • Now, we can find the no. of moles of O₂ is needed to produce the proposed amount of P₂O₅:

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

5 mol of O₂ is needed to produce → 2 mol of P₂O₅, from stichiometry.

??? mol of O₂ is needed to produce → 24.38 mol of P₂O₅.

∴ The no. of moles of O₂ needed = (5 mol)(24.38 mol)/(2 mol) = 60.95 mol.

  • Finally, we can get the volume of oxygen using the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm (P = 606.1 mm Hg/760 = 0.8 atm).

V is the volume of the gas in L (V = ??? L).

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol (n = 60.95 mol).

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K),

T is the temperature of the gas in K (396.90°C + 273 = 669.9 K).

∴ V of oxygen needed = nRT/P = (60.95 mol)(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(669.9 K)/(0.8 atm) = 4190.22 L/1000 = 4.19 m³.

Which of the following atoms has the greatest atomic radius? Oxygen (o) fluorine (F) Chlorine (CL) Carbon (C)
Andrei [34K]

Periodic Trend:

The Atomic radius of atoms generally decreases from left to right across a period

Group Trend:

The atomic radius of atoms generally increases from top to bottom within a group. As atomic number increases down a group, there is a increase in the positive nuclear charge, however the co-occurring increase in the number of orbitals wins out, increasing the atomic radius down a group in the periodic table

Answer :

The Atom with the greatest atomic radius is chlorine. Fluorine can be ruled out because it is in the same period as oxygen and further to the right down the period. Chlorine has the largest atomic size because it is farthest down the group of any of the above elements listed.
