A large piece of iron was reacted with an acid. What would happen to the rate of the reaction had the large piece been finely di
vided into smaller pieces? (1 point) It will decrease because the reactant particles are moved farther apart.
It will increase because the reactant particles are brought closer together.
It will decrease because larger particles provide more surface area to react.
It will increase because smaller particles provide more surface area to react.
D: It will increase because smaller particles provide more surface area to react.
Explanation:
When the large iron is broken up into smaller pieces, there are more places for the iron to react (meaning there's more surface area). Think of it like taking the surface area of a big cube compared to the surface area of a bunch of small cubes. The sum of the surface areas of the small cubes will be greater than that of the large cube. As a result, more places for the iron to react will cause for a greater reaction.
When an acid and a base are placed together, they react to neutralize the acid and base properties, producing a salt. The H(+) cation of the acid combines with the OH(-) anion of the base to form water. The compound formed by the cation of the base and the anion of the acid is called a salt
A mole ratio is the ratio between the amounts in moles of any two compounds involved in a chemical reaction. ... The mole ratio may be determined by examining the coefficients in front of formulas in a balanced chemical equation. Also known as: The mole ratio is also called the mole-to-mole ratio.
