Characteristic properties are used because the sample size and the shape of the substance does not matter.
Answer:
The correct answer is option D.
Explanation:
Rate of the reaction is a change in the concentration of any one of the reactant or product per unit time.

Rate of the reaction:
![R=-\frac{1}{1}\times \frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{1}\times \frac{d[CO]}{dt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=R%3D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B1%7D%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BNO_2%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D%3D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B1%7D%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BCO%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D)
Rate of decrease in nitrogen dioxide concentration is equal to the rate of decrease in carbon monoxide.
Given rate expression of the reaction:
![R = k[NO2]^2[CO]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=R%20%3D%20k%5BNO2%5D%5E2%5BCO%5D)
Rate of the reaction on doubling concentration of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide : R'
![R'=k(2\times [NO_2])^2(2\times [CO])=8\times k[NO2]^2[CO]=8R](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=R%27%3Dk%282%5Ctimes%20%5BNO_2%5D%29%5E2%282%5Ctimes%20%5BCO%5D%29%3D8%5Ctimes%20k%5BNO2%5D%5E2%5BCO%5D%3D8R)
Doubling the concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide simultaneously will increase the rate of the reaction by a factor of eight.
Hence, none of the given statements are true.
The copper wire was sanded before burning in order to make sure that copper metal was exposed on the surface of the wire.
Answer: B
Explanation
The copper wire when placed in atmosphere without coating leads to oxidation of copper metal with respect to the impurities present in the atmosphere.
As copper is electropositive in nature, so electronegative ions present in the universe will try to react with copper and the copper will react easily with other elements.
So generally copper wire is coated with color or polymer coating.
In this case, the copper wire without any coating is sanded, so that the eddy sheets or polishing materials on friction with copper wire will remove the impurities by the electrostatic law of conservation of charges and charge transfer.
As the impurities are removed when copper wire is sanded, the copper atoms will be exposed on the surface of the wire leading to burning of copper in the copper wire.
Concentration and ion moles are equal only when volume is 1. Of 1.0 x 10-6 and 1.0 x 10-4, the larger number is 1.
Is there any more to the picture?
