2) Stirring
3) Increasing surface area of salt by grinding it
Answer:
Option D = No, when elements combine to form a new material, they have properties unique to the new materials.
Explanation:
When sodium contact with water it loses its one electron and thus gain positive charge. When there are more sodium atoms present and many atoms do this thus more positive ions are produced and these positive ions repeal each other at high speed and explosion occur.
But when it form compound with other material, it will not showed this behavior.
Example:
Consider the sodium chloride, when it dissolve in water sodium not showed explosion. In sodium chloride sodium already gives its electron to the chlorine and have stable electronic configuration. The sodium present in cationic form. When it dissolve, partial positive charge of water surrounds the Cl⁻ and partial negative charge of water surrounds the Na⁺ ion, ans sodium chloride gets dissolve into water without explosion.
The activation energy of a reaction is the minimum energy that must be overcome in order for the reaction to take place. One way of reaching the activation energy is by manipulating the process conditions like pressure or temperature. But the most common method is by adding an enzyme. An enzyme speeds up the rate of the reaction but does not actively take part in it.
An analogy would be pushing heavy wooden block down a slope. No matter how many people push on it, the block won't move because of friction. But if you spill oil on the floor, the block would effortlessly move down the slope. The oil here is like an enzyme in a reaction.
