Answer:
A
Explanation:
The correct answer would be that <u>the powdered magnesium reacts faster because it has a greater surface area</u>.
<em>The rate of reaction is defined as the rate of disappearance of the reactants in a reaction or the rate of conversion of appearance of products during a reaction. </em>
The rate of reaction is dependent on several factors such as the concentration of the reactants, temperature of the reaction, nature of reactants, and the presence or absence of catalysts during the reaction.
As far as the nature of reactants is concerned, the surface area of reactants comes into play. <em>Reactants with higher surface areas react faster than reactants with lesser surface areas</em>. Hence, powdery reactants react faster than solid reactants because the latter has a higher surface area than the former.
The correct option is A.
A suspension is the answer
To determine the mass of CO₂, the following must be known :
- the molar mass of CaCO₃
- the mole ratio of CaCO₃ to CO₂
- the molar mass of CO₂
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Reaction
Decomposition of CaCO₃
CaCO₃ ⇒ CaO + CO₂
Given the mass of CaCO₃, so to determine the mass of CO₂ :
1. Find the mol of CaCO₃ from the molar mass of CaCO₃
2. Find the mole ratio of CaCO₃ : CO₂(from equation = 1 : 1)
3. Find the mass of CO₂ from the molar mass of CO₂
The brother is represented by variable b.
The sister is represented by the variable s.
This means:
b+s=26
