Answer:
Keep temperature constant and increase the pressure of the reaction. The rate of reaction increases.
Explanation:
First of all, the question is asking us to design an experiment to investigate the effect of pressure on the rate of reaction hence the pressure can not be held constant since it is the variable under investigation. This eliminates the first option.
Secondly, increasing the pressure of the reaction means that particles of the gas collide more frequently leading to a greater number of effective collisions and a consequent increase in the rate of reaction according to the collision theory.
Hence the answer above.
C is the answer hope this helps
Answer:
The correct answer is B. It is spontaneous only at low temperatures.
Explanation:
In thermodynamics, the Gibbs free energy is a thermodynamic potential that can be used to calculate the maximum of reversible work that may be performed by a thermodynamic system at a constant temperature and pressure.
The spontaneity of a reaction is given by the equation:
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
where:
ΔH: enthalpy variation
T: absolute temperature
ΔS: entropy variation
As the reaction is exothermic, ΔH<0
As the reaction order increases (the reagents are solid and gas and their product is solid), ΔS<0
Therefore, the reaction will be spontaneous when ΔG is negative.
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
That is, the entropy term must be smaller than the enthalpy term.
Hence, the reaction will be spontaneous only at low temperatures.
