The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
Which of the following best helps explain why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction?
(a) at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen less frequently.
(b) at low temperatures, low-energy collisions happen more frequently.
(c) at higher temperatures, less-energy collisions happen less frequently.
(d) at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen more frequently
Explanation:
When we increase the temperature of a chemical reaction then molecules of the reactant species tend to gain kinetic energy. As a result, they come into motion which leads to more number of collisions within the molecules.
Therefore, chemical reaction will take less amount of time in order to reach its end point. This means that there will occur an increase in rate of reaction.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen more frequently, best explains why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction.
The balanced chemical reaction would be:
KHC8H4O4<span> (aq) + </span>NaOH<span> (aq) → NaKC8H4O4 (aq) + H2O.
The concentration of the NaOH is equal 0.1 M. We use this and the volume given above to determine the mass of KH</span>C8H4O4. We do as follows:
0.1 mol / L NaOH (.015 L) ( 1 mol KHC8H4O4 / 1 mol NaOH) (204 g / 1 mol) = 0.306 g KHC8H4O4
Answer: option A. acidic
Explanation: acidic solution is characterized by the presence of Hydrogen ion.
0.72 mole of oxygen would produce 320.4 kJ of heat.
<u>Explanation:</u>
CH₄ (g) + 2O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (ℓ) + 890kJ
According to the equation,
2 moles of O₂ produces 890 kJ of heat
So, 0.72 moles of O₂ will produce:
Therefore, 0.72 mole of oxygen would produce 320.4 kJ of heat.
