Chemistry

8 0

Answer: Small sticks of wood would burn faster.

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction is the speed which a reaction takes place.

Rate of a reaction depends on the surface area of the particles. More is the surface area, more will the rate of reaction as more of the particles surface would be exposed for the reaction to occur.

Surface area is increased by decreasing the size of the particles.

Thus a large log will burn slower as compared to the same log cut into small sticks of wood as lesser area will be exposed to air and thus rate of burning will be slow.

Correct Answer: Option g: <span>adding salt to water lowers its freezing point

Reason:
Freezing point is a colligative property. When a non-volatile solution is present in solution, it's freezing point decreases. This is referred as depression in freezing point (</span>ΔTf<span>). Extent of lowering in freezing point is dependent on number of particles present in system. Mathematically it is expressed as:

</span>ΔTf = Kf X m
<span>
where, m = molality of solution
Kf = cryoscopic constant. 

Hence, a</span><span>dding salt to water lowers the freezing point of solution.</span>
