I believe the correct answer would be letter C: removing an inhibitor. First of all, a catalyst increases the rate of reactions. Also, increasing temperature causes more reaction because molecules are more active this way. Lastly, lowering the concentration of the reactants will not increase the rate of reactions because again, high concentration causes collision..

A few factors influence the rate of reaction, including :

Temperature. Most reactions increase in rate as temperature increases; most reactions slow down as temperature decreases.

Concentrations of the reactant. Raising the concentration of a substance will increase the speed of the reaction; lowering the concentration of a substance will decrease the speed of the reaction. The limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely used up in a reaction. When this is completely used up, the reaction will stop.

Catalysts. These are substances that speed up the rate of the reaction by lowering the activation energy. If a catalyst is added, the rate of reactions will increase. If a catalyst is removed, the rate of reactions will decrease. Enzymes are biological catalysts used in living things to speed up internal reactions.

Inhibitors. These are substances that slow down the rate of a reaction. If an inhibitor is added to a reaction, its rate will decrease. If an inhibitor is removed from a reaction, its rate will increase.

Thus, the right answer is B. Lowering the concentration of the reactants

When the metallic element sodium combines with the nonmetallic element bromine, br2(l), what is the chemical formula of the prod

inysia [295]

The element Sodium will form a +1 cation, while the bromine a -1 anion. Since the anion bromine is always a liquid, therefore its symbol is Br2(l). So, the chemical equation for their reaction is: 
2Na(s) + Br2(l) -> 2NaBr(aq)

Indicate the types of forces that are involved between the solute and solvent when forming a homogeneous solution between ch3ch2

Bess [88]

Answer:
Dispersion Forces are found between n-Pentane (CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃) and n-Hexane (CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃).

Explanation:
Dispersion Forces are present and developed by those compounds which are non-polar in nature. In given statement n-Pentane and n-Hexane both are non-polar in nature as the electronegativity difference between Hydrogen atoms and Carbon atoms is less than 0.4.
When non-polar molecules approaches each other, a Dipole is induced in one of them, this step is known as Instantaneous Dipole, This generated Dipole on approaching another non-polar molecule induces dipole in it and the process propagates. Hence, creating intermolecular interactions.

How many milliliters of 0.500 m kcl solution would you need to dilute to make 100.0 ml of 0.100 m kcl?

Strike441 [17]

Given:
Concentration 1 = 100.0 ml Concentration 2 = ?
Volume 1 = 0.100 M KCL Volume 2= 0.500 M KCL

Find Concentration 2

To get the concentration 2, follow this formula

C1V1 = C2V2

Solution

(100.0 ml) (0.100 m kcl) = (X ml) (0.500 m kcl)
transfer the volume 2 to the left side

(100.0 ml) (0.100 m kcl) = X ml
---------------------------------
0.500 m kcl

10.00ml / m kcl = Xml
-------------------- cancel the m kcl to let the ml be the remaining variable
0.500 m kcl

20.0 ml = x ml

So you will need 20.0 ml of 0.500 m kcl to made the solution of 100.0 ml of 0.100 m kcl
