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.

Which statement is true about the ionic size of the elements in a group as one moves from top to bottom in that group?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Ionic size increases from top to bottom within the group.

Explanation:

  • Ions are formed when neutral atoms of elements gain or lose electron(s).
  • The ionic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an ion to the outermost energy level.
  • The ionic size or radius increases down the group as the number of energy level increases.
  • Therefore, an ion of an element lower in the group will be larger than the ion of an element higher in the group.
  • For example, an ion of potassium, K+, is larger in size compared to the ion of sodium, Na+ since K+ has more energy levels than Na+.

Trace amounts of sulfur (S) in coal are burned in the presence of diatomic oxygen (O2) to form sulfur dioxide (SO2). Determine t
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

0.99 kg O₂

1.9 kg SO₂

Explanation:

Let's consider the reaction between sulfur and oxygen to form sulfur dioxide.

S + O₂ → SO₂

The mass ratio of S to O₂ is 32.07:32.00. The mass of oxygen required to react with 1 kg of sulfur is:

1 kg S × (32.00 kg O₂/32.07 kg S) = 0.998 kg O₂

The mass ratio of S to SO₂ is 32.07:64.07. The mass of sulfur dioxide formed when 1 kg of sulfur is burned is:

1 kg S × (64.07 kg SO₂/32.07 kg S) = 1.99 kg SO₂

Which of the following reactions could be used to extract the lead from the lead nitrate?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Option b. Decomposition

Followed by a reduction process using charcoal

Explanation:

Lead can be obtained from lead nitrate by thermal decomposition of lead nitrate as shown below:

2Pb(NO3)2 —> 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2

The PbO obtained is reduced by charcoal(C) to obtain the metallic Pb as shown below:

2PbO + C —> Pb + CO2

What is the density of a cube of water measuring 2cmX4cmX1cm, with a mass of<br> 8g?
Vinil7 [7]

The actual formula for volume for a cube is the length multiplied by the width and then multiplied by the height. Since all three measurements are the same, the formula results in the measurement of one side cubed. For the example, 5^3 is 125 cm^3. Multiply the volume by the known density, which is the mass per volume.
