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 redox reaction employed in an electrochemical cell has a negative . Which statement is true? a) E∘cell is positive b) K&gt;1 E
krok68 [10]

Answer:

d. K<1 E∘cell is negative

Explanation:

Since E⁰ = negative , ΔG = -nFE⁰ = -nF -ve = +ve.

Also, ΔG = -RTlnK

K = exp(-RTΔG)

Since ΔG = +ve, -RTΔG = -ve

K = 1/exp(RTΔG) < 1.

So our answer is  E⁰ cell is negative and K < 1

(MARK BRAINLEST) PLEASE HELP ASAP: Network covalent solids have an unusual structure. Describe how they are formed, and give two
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Covalent network solids are formed by networks or chains of atoms or molecules held together by covalent bonds. Consists of sp3 hybridized carbon atoms, each bonded to four other carbon atoms in a tetrahedral array to create a giant network. Examples of network covalent solids include diamond and graphite (both allotropes of carbon), and the chemical compounds silicon carbide and boron-carbide.

Francium is the most reactive element in Group 1.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Francium is hypothesized to be the most reactive metal, but so little of it exists or can be synthesized, and the longest half-life of its most abundant isotope is 22.00 minutes, so that its reactivity cannot be determined experimentally.

Explanation:

Francium is an alkali metal in group 1/IA. All alkali metals have one valence electron. As you go down the group, the number of electron energy levels increases – lithium has two, sodium has three, etc..., as indicated by the period number. The result is that the outermost electron gets further from the nucleus. The attraction from the positive nucleus to the negative electron is less. This makes it easier to remove the electron and makes the atom more reactive.

Experimentally speaking, cesium (caesium) is the most reactive metal.

A 37.2 g sample of copper at 99.8 °C is carefully placed into an insulated container containing 188 g of water at 18.5 °C. Calcu
klasskru [66]

Answer:

T₂ = 19.95°C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy:

Heat\ Lost\ by\ Copper = Heat\ Gained\ by\ Water\\m_cC_c\Delta T_c = m_wC_w\Delta T_w

where,

mc = mass of copper = 37.2 g

Cc = specific heat of copper = 0.385 J/g.°C

mw = mass of water = 188 g

Cw = specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g.°C

ΔTc = Change in temperature of copper = 99.8°C - T₂

ΔTw = Change in temperature of water = T₂ - 18.5°C

T₂ = Final Temperature at Equilibrium = ?

Therefore,

(37.2\ g)(0.385\ J/g.^oC)(99.8\ ^oC-T_2)=(188\ g)(4.184\ J/g.^oC)(T_2-18.5\ ^oC)\\99.8\ ^oC-T_2 = \frac{(188\ g)(4.184\ J/g.^oC)}{(37.2\ g)(0.385\ J/g.^oC)}(T_2-18.5\ ^oC)\\\\99.8\ ^oC-T_2 = (54.92) (T_2-18.5\ ^oC)\\54.92T_2+T_2 = 99.8\ ^oC + 1016.02\ ^oC\\\\T_2 = \frac{1115.82\ ^oC}{55.92}

<u>T₂ = 19.95°C</u>

The rate constant for the decomposition of n2o is 2.30 s−1. What is the half-life of the decomposition?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

0.3 s.

Explanation:

Half-life of a first order reaction is defined as the the time taken for any fraction of the reaction to complete is independent of the initial concentration.

Half-life of a first order reaction, t° = 0.693/k

where,

t° = half-life of the reaction

k = rate constant

= 2.3 s^-1

Therefore,

t° = 0.693/2.3

= 0.30 s.
