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.
D is just straight up false, if I were to take a stab at it, the only one that’s seems logical to me B. “The ability of atoms to combine in unlimited ways”
Do the atomic mass times the number of atoms you have. That'll give you your answer. Hope it helps!
Therefore option c , i.e. The substances in both test tubes are reactive only at high temperatures. is the only statement which is NOT supported by the student's observations.
<h3>What is the reaction between Magnesium and Hydrogen ?</h3>
Magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas
Mg (s) + 2 HCl (aq) → MgCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)
In this reaction, the magnesium and acid are gradually used up , which can be seen in the test tube 2 .
A chemical reaction is taking place in Test tube 2 ,
Hydrogen gas is released in test tube 2 ,
Energy is released in the reaction involving hydrochloric acid and we can see in test tube 2 the reaction is going on
therefore option C i.e. The substances in both test tubes are reactive only at high temperatures. is the only statement which is NOT supported by the student's observation.
To know more about the chemical reaction between Magnesium and Hydrogen and this test.
