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.
By measuring it's Radical velocity using Doppler Phenomenon...
Explanation:
It is done by measuring the absorption spectrum produces by a star as a result of measuring Doppler's relative wavelength. The star with the lower speed must have lower absorption spectrum extent as compared to the faster one.
