I found another question like this. Someone answered "The best answer to this question is adding a catalyst. 

Adding a catalyst  will cause the greatest increase in the rate of reaction for this chemical reaction , 8Zn(s) + S8(s) 8ZnS(s).                                                         ---> adding a catalyst always affects the rate of a reaction."

Answer:  A. adding a catalyst

Explanation:  The given reaction is -

                               8Zn(s) + S8(s) → 8ZnS(s)

Catalyst is the substance which is used to increase the rate of reaction. Thus adding the catalyst will give the greatest increase the rate of reaction by following the path which would have less activation energy.

Increasing the temperature will do increase the rate of reaction as kinetic energy of the reactants increasing thereby increasing the number of collisions.

Increasing the surface area and increasing the concentration will also increase the rate of reaction but the greatest increase will be shown by the addition of the catalyst.

Answer:

Rate constant k = 1.57*10⁻⁵ s⁻¹

Explanation:

Given reaction:

A\rightarrow B

Expt    [A] M        [B] M         Rate [M/s]

1          3.40         4.16           1.82*10^-4

2         4.59         4.16           3.32*10^-4

3.        3.40          5.46          1.82*10^-4

Rate = k[A]^{x}[B]^{y}

where k = rate constant

x and y are the orders wrt to A and B

To find x:

Divide rate of expt 2 by expt 1

\frac{3.32*10^{-4} }{1.82*10^{-4} } =\frac{[4.59]^{x} [4.16]^{y} }{[3.40]^{x} [4.16]^{y} }\\\\x =2

To find y:

Divide rate of expt 3 by expt 1

\frac{1.82*10^{-4} }{1.82*10^{-4} } =\frac{[3.40]^{x} [5.46]^{y} }{[3.40]^{x} [4.16]^{y} }\\\\y =0

Therefore: x = 2, y = 0

Rate = k[A]^{2}[B]^{0}

To find k

Use rate for expt 1:

k = \frac{Rate1}{[A]^{2} } =\frac{1.82*10^{-4}M/s }{[3.40]^{2} } =1.57*10^{-5} s-1

The electron configuration filling patterns of some elements in group 6b(6) and group 1b(11) reflect the ______ of half-filled a
Fudgin [204]

The electron configuration filling patterns of some elements in group 6b(6) and group 1b(11) reflect the increasing stability of half-filled and completely filled sublevels.

<h2>What is electronic configuration?</h2>

The distribution of electrons in an element's atomic orbitals is described by the element's electron configuration. Atomic subshells that contain electrons are placed in a series, and the number of electrons that each one of them holds is indicated in superscript for all atomic electron configurations. For instance, sodium's electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s1.

Almost all of the elements write their electronic configurations in the same style. When the energies of two subshells differ, an electron from the lower energy subshell occasionally goes to the higher energy subshell.

This is due to two factors:

Symmetrical distribution: As is well known, stability is a result of symmetry. Because of the symmetrical distribution of electrons, orbitals where the sub-shell is exactly half-full or totally filled are more stable.

Energy exchange: The electrons in degenerate orbitals have a parallel spin and are prone to shifting positions. The energy released during this process is simply referred to as exchange energy. The greatest number of exchanges occurs when the orbitals are half- or fully-filled. Its stability is therefore at its highest.

Rank the elements in each of the following sets in order of increasing IE₁:
zavuch27 [327]

Explanation:

Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom.

When we move across a period from left to right then there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atoms. Therefore, ionization energy increases along a period.

But when we move from top to bottom in a group then there occurs an increase in size of the atoms. Hence, ionization energy decreases along a group.

(a)  As Sb, Sn and I are all period 5 elements. Hence, these elements are arranged in order of increasing IE_{1} as follows.

                             Sn < Sb < I

(b)  As Sr, Ca, and Ba are all elements of group 2a. Hence, these elements are arranged in order of increasing IE_{1} as follows.

                            Ba < Sr < Ca
