The graph shows the volume of a gaseous product formed during two trials of a reaction. A diferent concentration of reactant was
used during each trial, whereas the other factors were kept constant. Trial 2 Amount of Product Trial 1 Time Which of the following statements explains which trial has a lower concentration of the reactant? O Trial 1, because the average rate of the reaction is lower. O Trial 1, because this reaction lasted for a longer duration than Trial 2. O Trial 2, because this reaction was initially fast and later slowed down. O Trial 2, because the volume of product formed per unit time was higher
A). Trial 1, because the average rate of the reaction is lower.
Explanation:
The first sentence elaborates that 'trial 1 had a lower level of concentration of the reactant that eventually led the reaction's average rate to fall.'
A trial having a higher level of concentration of a specific reactant will cause the concentration's average rate to rise. As per the graph provided, trial 2's average reaction rate is higher which shows that its concentration is greater and more reactive. However, the opposite happens in trial 1 where the amount of reactant is lesser in the concentration that leads the concentration to possess a lower rate of reaction. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
Calcium forms an ionic bond to iodine and forms calcium iodide (CaI2). The calcium atom gives away 2 of its valence electrons, one to each of the 2 iodine atoms thus forming the ionic bond.
Different elements emit differently colors of light because when electrons return to the lower energy levels, they emit energy in a different form of light
