Out of the following given choices;

A. increasing the pH of the salt.

B. increasing the surface area of the salt.

C. increasing the pressure of the salt.

<span>D. increasing the temperature of the salt.</span>

 

The answer is B. When a substance is reduced to smaller sizes, its surface area to volume ratio increases. Therefore crushing barium salts to smaller particles increase the surface area on which it reacts with the acid. This consequently increases the rate of speed of the reaction.

A balloon filled with helium gas occupies 2.50 L at 25°C and 1.00 atm. When released, it rises to an altitude where the temperat

Answer:

8,19 L

Explanation:

The combined gas law is a equation that can be used <em>when the initial and final conditions -</em>pressure,volume,amount of moles,temperature-, <em>of a gas change</em> during a process. It can be written:

\frac{P1V1}{n1T1}=\frac{P2V2}{n2T2}

If the amount of the gas remains constant, then n1=n2 and we have:

\frac{P1V1}{T1}=\frac{P2V2}{T2}

For the problem we have:

<em>Note: When working with gases is important to use </em><em><u>absolute temperature values (°K, °K=°C+273,15):</u></em>

P1=1 atm, V1=2,5L, T1=25+273,15=298,15°K

P2=0,3 atm, V2=?, T2=20+273,15=293,15°K

V2=\frac{P1V1T2}{T1P2}=\frac{1atm*2,5L*293,15K}{298,15K*0,3atm}=8,19L

The new volume of the balloon is 8,19 L.

What are the most common elements in the canyon
katen-ka-za [31]
The most common element found in crayons would be carbon and hydrogen. Since crayons are  made up of paraffin and other chemical pigments. Paraffin is wax like material, which is derived from petroleum, wood, or coal. All three contain large amounts of hydrocarbons, which is carbon and hydrogen compounds.

Water enters a 4.00-m3 tank at a rate of 6.33 kg/s and is withdrawn at a rate of 3.25 kg/s. The tank is initially half full.
olga55 [171]

Answer:

At the start of the process, the volume not occupied by the water is 2 m3

Explanation:

At the start of the process you have a half full tank. It means that also a half is empty (not occupied by water).

Since the volume is 4 m3, 2 m3 are full (occupied by water) and 2 m3 (not occupied by water).

The volume in time will be

V(t)=V_0+(f_i-f_o)*t\\\\V(t) = 2 +(6.33/1000-3.25/1000)*t=2+0.00308*t \, \, [m3]

How many molecules are in 20.2 moles of CO₂?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

1.22 x 10²⁵ molecules CO₂

Explanation:

To find the amount of molecules, you need to multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's Number. Avogadro's Number is a ratio which represents the amount of molecules per every 1 mole. It is important to arrange this ratio in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (since you are going from moles to molecules, moles should be in the denominator). The final answer should have 3 sig figs like the given value.

Avogadro's Number:

6.022 x 10²³ molecules = 1 mole

 20.2 moles CO₂           6.022 x 10²³ molecules
---------------------------  x  --------------------------------------  = 1.22 x 10²⁵ molecules
                                                     1 mole
