Answer:
I believe it's A. to reduce air bubbles. Tbh, it's been a while
Because Wagner could not identify cause of continental drift
212 ml of lead nitrate is required to prepare a dilute solution of 820.7 ml of lead nitrate.
Answer:
Option A.
Explanation:
Similar to Avagadro's law, there is another law termed as dilution law. As the product of volume and normality of the reactant is equal to the product of volume and normality of the product from the Avagadro's law. In dilution law, it will be as product of volume and concentration of the solute of the reactant is equal to the product of volume and concentration of solution.

So, as per the given question C1 = 5.45 M of lead nitrate and V1 has to be found. While C2 is 1.41 M of lead nitrate and V2 is 820.7 ml.
Then, 

So nearly 212 ml of lead nitrate is required to prepare a dilute solution of 820.7 ml of lead nitrate.
Answer: The statement (B) is not true about chemical reactions.
Explanation:
A chemical reaction rate is affected by the several factors few of which are temperature, concentration of reactants, surface area etc.
In a chemical reaction, if temperature is increased then the rate of reaction will increase because it will increase the average kinetic energy of the reactant molecules. Thus, large number of molecules will have minimum energy required for an effective collision.
It is known that increasing the amount of reactants will increase the rate of reaction.
Therefore, rate of reaction will change if concentration or temperature is changed.
Hence, the statement (B) is not true about chemical reactions.
