(For a bit of context I will use the reaction between HCl and Mg as an example)
The larger the surface area of the magnesium metal, the more particles are exposed to collide with the aqueous HCl particles to cause the reaction to occur. This increases the frequency per second of collisions, speeding up the rate of reaction.
The effect of a catalyst is to reduce the minimum collision energy which allows the reaction to happen. This does not increase the number of collisions per second, but increases the percentage of successful collisions, which consequently causes the rate of reaction to increase .
I have drawn diagrams showing the effect of surface area, but there isn't really a meaningful diagram that I know of to show the impact of a catalyst (at least not at GCSE level).
Answer:
Synthesis
Explanation:
Chemical equation:
3S + 2Fe → Fe₂S₃
The solid iron react with solid sulfur and form iron(III) sulfide. The reaction type is synthesis because,
Synthesis reaction:
It is the reaction in which two or more simple substance react to give one or more complex product.
A + B → AB
Other options are incorrect because,
In double displacement two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.
AB + CD → AC +BD
In decomposition one reactant is break down into two or more product.
AB → A + B
In single replacement one elements replace the other element in compound.
AB + C → AC + B
Answer:-
Carbon
[He] 2s2 2p2
1s2 2s2 2p2.
potassium
[Ar] 4s1.
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
Explanation:-
For writing the short form of the electronic configuration we look for the nearest noble gas with atomic number less than the element in question. We subtract the atomic number of that noble gas from the atomic number of the element in question.
The extra electrons we then assign normally starting with using the row after the noble gas ends. We write the name of that noble gas in [brackets] and then write the electronic configuration.
For carbon with Z = 6 the nearest noble gas is Helium. It has the atomic number 2. Subtracting 6 – 2 we get 4 electrons. Helium lies in 1st row. Starting with 2, we get 2s2 2p2.
So the short term electronic configuration is [He] 2s2 2p2
Similarly, for potassium with Z = 19 the nearest noble gas is Argon. It has the atomic number 18. Subtracting 19-18 we get 1 electron. Argon lies in 3rd row. Starting with 4, we get 4s1.
So the short electronic configuration is
[Ar] 4s1.
For long term electronic configuration we must write the electronic configuration of the noble gas as well.
So for Carbon it is 1s2 2s2 2p2.
For potassium it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
Answer:
A. the electric motor
Explanation:
A cell is a biological molecule which is the basic and functional unit of life. Cells undergo series of processes to function appropriately. ATP is an acronym for adenosine triphosphate, which is the source of energy for various cell processes.
In the given mechanical system, the electric motor provides the energy required energy to drive the system. Therefore, the electric motor has the same major function of providing energy for the system as the ATP in a cell.
