Answer: The correct option is A ( Break the crackers into pieces.)

Explanation:

The rate of reaction between two substances can be affected by the following factors:

--> surface area of reacting substances

--> concentration

--> reaction mechanism

--> temperature

--> the presence of a catalyst and

--> pressure ( if gaseous)

Reagents in solution tend to react faster than reagents in solid form. This is because molecules are freer to move about and collide more effectively in solutions. For example, a lump of zinc will not react as fast as powdered zinc with dilute hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen. This is the same with the reaction between the crackers and soup. To increase the reaction of the substances, the crackers needs to be broken into pieces(thus,increased surface area)

Which of the following is not a property of a covalent bond?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Have high melting points and high boiling points.

Explanation:

  • Covalent bonds are types of chemical bonds that result from the sharing of electrons between non-metal atoms.
  • Covalent bonds result in the formation of covalent compounds.
  • Covalent compounds are characterized by low melting and boiling points.
  • Therefore, it won't be true to say they have high melting and boiling points.
  • Other properties of covalent bonds include poor conductors of electricity and heat, gases or liquids at room temperature, and are non-polar compounds among others.

On the basis of the Ksp values below, what is the order of the solubility from least soluble to most soluble for these compounds
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The order of solubility is AgBr <   Ag₂CO₃ < AgCl

Explanation:

The solubility constant give us the molar solubilty of ionic compounds. In general for a compound AB the ksp will be given by:

Ksp = (A) (B) where A and B are the molar solubilities = s²  (for compounds with 1:1  ratio).

It follows then  that the higher the value of Ksp the greater solubilty of the compound if we are comparing compounds with the same ionic ratios:

Comparing AgBr: Ksp = 5.4 x 10⁻¹³ with AgCl: Ksp = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰, AgCl will be more soluble.

Comparing Ag2CO3: Ksp = 8.0 x 10⁻¹²  with AgCl Ksp = AgCl: Ksp = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰ we have the complication of  the ratio of ions 2:1 in Ag2CO3,  so the answer is not obvious. But since we know that

Ag2CO3 ⇄ 2 Ag⁺ + CO₃²₋

Ksp Ag2CO3  = 2s x s = 2 s² =  8.0 x 10-12

s = 4 x 10⁻12 ∴ s= 2 x 10⁻⁶

And for AgCl

AgCl  ⇄ Ag⁺ + Cl⁻

Ksp = s² = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰  ∴ s = √ 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰   = 1.3 x 10⁻⁵

Therefore, AgCl is more soluble than Ag₂CO₃

The order of solubility is AgBr <   Ag₂CO₃ < AgCl
