A chemical engineer is developing a process for producing a new chemical. One step in the process involves allowing a solution o
f potassium hydroxide to react with a solid. Which action would most likely increase the reaction rate for this step? using larger pieces of the solid using a more concentrated potassium hydroxide solution adding water to the system
<em>The option that would likely increase the rate of reaction would be to use a more concentrated potassium hydroxide.</em>
<u>The concentration of reactants is one of the factors that affect the rate of reaction. The more the concentration of the reactants, the faster the rate of reaction. </u>
Granted that there are enough of the other reactants, increasing the concentration of one of the reactants will lead to an increased rate of reaction.
Hence, using a more concentrated potassium hydroxide which happens to be one of the reactants would likely increase the rate of reaction.
An x would represent the gained electrons A . Would represent the valence electrons You would just draw [ ] around the diagram And the charge should be placed outside the brackets
