Answer:
Option (A) the solid X is ground to a fine powder.
Explanation:
X(s) + 2B(aq) → X+(aq) + B2(g)
In the reaction above, the rate of the reaction will be highest, when X being a solid is ground to fine powder.
Grounding X to fine powder simply means increasing the surface area of X.
An increase in surface area of reactants will definitely increase the rate of reaction because the particles of the solid will collide with the right orientation and hence speed up the reaction rate.
Answer:
wax, candlewick, and oxygen
Explanation:
The burning of the candle is both a physical as well as a chemical change. The reactants are the substances or the raw materials that are required for a reaction to the process. In the process of burning a candle, the reactants are the fuel which includes wax and wick, and oxygen which is found in the air. The products found at the end of the reaction are carbon dioxide and water vapor.
The intended sense is that of a reaction that depends on absorbing heat if it is to proceed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases "gives out" energy in the form of heat
