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.

What are the oxides of oxygen​
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Oxides are chemical compounds with one or more oxygen atoms combined with another element (e.g. Li2O). Oxides are binary compounds of oxygen with another element, e.g., CO2, SO2, CaO, CO, ZnO, BaO2, H2O, etc. These are termed as oxides because here, oxygen is in combination with only one element.

Relate the intermolecular forces in hydrocarbons to their physical properties and uses
DENIUS [597]

The physical properties of alkenes and alkynes are generally similar to those of alkanes or cycloalkanes with equal numbers of carbon atoms. Alkynes have higher boiling points than alkanes or alkenes, because the electric field of an alkyne, with its increased number of weakly held π electrons, is more easily distorted, producing stronger attractive forces between molecules.

Chloroform, CHCl3, reacts with chlorine, Cl2, to form carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, and hydrogen chloride, HCl. In an experiment 2
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Chloroform= limiting reactant

0.209mol of CCl4 is formed

And 32.186g of CCl4 is formed

Explanation:

The equation of reaction

CHCl3 + Cl2= CCl4 + HCl

From the equation 1 mol of

CHCl3 reacts with 1mol Cl2 to yield 1mol of CCl4

From the question

25g of CHCl3 really with Cl2

Molar mass of CHCl3= 119.5

Molar mass of Cl2 = 71

Hence moles of CHCl3= 25/119.5 = 0.209mol

Moles of Cl2 = 25/71 = 0.352mol

Hence CHCl3 is the limiting reactant

Since 1 mole of CHCl3 gave 1mol of CCl4

It implies that 0.209moles of CHCl3 will also give 0.209mol of CCl4

Mass of CCl4 formed = moles× molar mass= 0.209×154= 32.186g
