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! :)

explain using diagrams how potassium forms the compound potassium flouride when it reacts with flourine

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Explanation:

Potassium (K) has 19 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 1.

Fluorine (F) has 9 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 7.

Fluorine needs 1 electron to complete it's octet configuration.

Hence, potassium (K), will lose 1 electron to fluorine (F) to form potassium ion (K+) with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8. The fluorine atom (F) will receive the 1 electron from potassium to form the fluoride ion (F-) with electronic configuration of 2, 8.

Which solution has the highest boiling point at standard pressure?

julia-pushkina [17]

Pressure: when the external pressure is:
less than one atmosphere, the boiling point of the liquid is lower than its normal boiling point.
equal to one atmosphere, the boiling point of a liquid is called the normal boiling point.
greater than one atmosphere, the boiling point of the liquid is greater than its normal boiling point.
