Answer:
d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces
Explanation:
The aim of the question is to select the right condition for that would increases the rate of the reaction.
a) use a large sized piece of the solid Cu
This option is wrong. Reducing the surface area decreases the reaction rate.
b) lower the initial temperature below 25 °C for the liquid reactant, HNO3
Hugher temperatures leads to faster reactions hence this option is wrong.
c) use a 0.5 M HNO3 instead of 2.0 M HNO3
Higher concentration leads to increased rate of reaction. Hence this option is wrong.
d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces
This leads to an increased surface area of the reactants, which leads to an increased rate of the reaction. This is the correct option.
<span>The elements on the Periodic Table are arranged in order of increasing "Atomic number"
In short, Your Answer would be Option B

I believe the answer is C
Answer:
Options B and C are the two criteria that are most essential
Explanation:
When trying to develop a novel process, <u>it is important that the new process involves the use of equipment that can be operated safely by workers so as to prevent death or injury in the cause of handling this equipment</u>. If this equipment is seen not to be safe or cannot be handled safely by workers, it can/will force workers to previous or alternative methods that require more safe equipment.
Also, the process must be able to maximize the most of the reactants, i.e <u>the process must be able to convert a good percentage of the reactants into the desired product (phosphorus pentachloride) since that is the focus</u>. This will also lead to reduction of byproducts produced which could be useful or otherwise (a loss).
