How surface area affects the rate of a reaction.

1 answer:

8 0

The smaller the surface area, the faster the rate of reaction will be. Think of ice. A full sized ice cube will take longer to melt than crushed ice. Crushed ice will melt much quicker because there is more surface area exposed. So if the surface area can be increased, so will the rate of reaction.

Hope this helps! :)

Find the percent composition of each element in KMnO4

VARVARA [1.3K]

The way you want to find the percent composition would be by breaking down the problem like so:

K= atomic mass of K which is 39.098
Mn = atomic mass of Mn which is 54.938
O= atomic mass of o which is 15.999

Then you want to add 39.098+ 54.938+ 15.999 and you get 110.035 which is the molar mass for KMnO

Then you want to take each molar mass and then divide it 110.035 and multiply by 100

Ex. K = 39.098/ 110.035 and the multiply what you get by a 100

You do this for the other elements as well good luck!

What is the total number of grams of h2o produced when 22 grams of propane undergoes complete combustion?

SSSSS [86.1K]

The combustion reaction of propane would be expressed as:

C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O

To determine the mass of water that is produced from the given amount of propane, we use the mass of propane and the relation of the substances from the balanced reaction. We do as follows:

moles propane = 22 g C3H8 ( 1 mol / 44.1 g ) = 0.50 mol C3H8
moles H2O = 0.50 mol C3H8 ( 4 mol H2O / 1 mol C3H8) = 2 mol H2O
mass H2O = 2 mol H2O ( 18.02 g / 1 mol ) = 36.04 g H2O

Therefore, the mass of water that is produced from 22 grams of propane would be 36.04 g.
