Answer:

<em>I disagree with the student's claim</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

<em>From basic chemistry, the rate of chemical reaction increases with an increased surface area.</em>

<em>This simply means that a powdered substance will react faster than a small pellet of the same substance.</em>

Let us break this down further. The pellet has a smaller exposed surface per grain to the solvent, here is how. Imagine the powdered substance bunched up together to make the small pellet, grains at the center of the pellet is blocked by other grains around it, and will take time before it comes in contact with the solvent. For the powdered grains, each grain has a surface independently exposed to the solvent and can easily come in contact with the solvent, taking less time to react with the solvent.

Technically, a powdered substance has more exposed surface area and logically will take a shorter time for the reaction to be complete.

Which of the following sets represents a pair of isotopes?
Maslowich
The set that represent a pair of isotope is 9B AND 11B.
Isotopes are chemical element which have two or more forms, these forms have the same number of electrons but different number of neutrons.
In an atom of an element, the nucleus contains the neutron and the proton. For a neutral atom, the number of proton and neutron are always the same, while the number of neutron differ. Thus, for the correct option, B stands for the element Boron, which has atomic number of 5. This means that 9B has 5 electrons, 5 protons and 4 neutrons. For 11B, the isotope has 5 protons, 5 electrons and 6 neutrons. 9 and 11 are the mass number of the isotopes; mass number is the summation of number of proton and neutron.
