Answer:
D) both a and c are correct
Explanation:
The reaction rate is a measure of the speed of a chemical reaction. The factors that affects the rate of a chemical reaction are itemised below:
- Nature of the reactants
- Concentration of the reactants or pressure(if gaseous)
- Temperature
- Presence of catalyst
- Sunlight
Our concern here is temperature. Temperature affects a reaction considerably. Average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature of the reacting particles. When the temperature of a reacting system is increase, the frequency of ordinary and effective collisions per unit time increases. A decrease in temperature implies that the number of collisions also decreases.
The two liquids are different and so the melting points are different only because one represents an intermediate stage. It was a melting-point suppression effect, just like salt and ice, but it was much larger than anyone on the team had thought possible.
This is true i think if that is a question
