It mostly because they're so reactive and if they were in their pure form and touched water they would have a very violent reaction. They also want to be more stable so they look for more electrons and quickly bond.
A non-sandblasted rock could be rough or smooth depending on how it was formed.
A sandblasted rock should be much smoother, since the sand blasts away any rough edges. It will, however, be slightly smaller due to losing those edges.
Answer:
The activation energy is 7.11 × 10⁴ J/mol.
Explanation:
Let's consider the Arrhenius equation.

where,
k is the rate constant
A is a collision factor
Ea is the activation energy
R is the ideal gas constant
T is the absolute temperature
The plot of ln k vs 1/T is a straight line with lnA as intercept and -Ea/R as slope. Then,

The correct answer is shown in option 3. Water and hydrochloric acid are polar molecules. These molecules are polar because of the presence of bonds that are partially ionic or polar covalent bonds. Other examples are hydrogen fluoride and ammonia.
The concentration of the reactants and products remain constant. Because the rates of the forward and reverse reaction are equal there is no net change to the amount of reactants or products produced.May 19, 2011
