The answer is 3). This is because elements are the simplest form of a substance, and cannot be broken down any further. Compounds on the other hand are much more complex than elements and can be broken down INTO elements. For example, Na, sodium, is an element and cannot be broken down further. H2O, water, is a compound and can be broken down into Hydrogen and Oxygen.

Which of these statements is not true about chemical reaction rates? a Temperature can change a reaction rate. b The amount of r
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The statement that is not true is: 'Temperature does not affect the reaction rate'.  

Explanation:

a) Temperature can change a reaction rate. <u> This is true</u>

Increasing the temperature increases the reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction.

For example, the time taken to melt a metal will be much higher at a lower temperature but it will decrease as soon as we increase the temperature

b) The amount of reactants can increase the reaction rate.<u> This is true</u>

A higher concentration of reactants leads to more effective collisions per unit time, which leads to an increased reaction rate.

c) Temperature can decrease the reaction rate. <u>This is true </u>

Decreasing the temperature decreases the reaction rates because of the  decrease in the number of high energy collisions. It will result in a slower reaction.

d) Temperature does not affect the reaction rate.  <u>This is not true. </u>

The reaction rate is temperature dependent. The reaction rate increases with higher temperature and decreases with lower temperature.
