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.
Answer: Electrons
Explanation:The electron itself is small but it takes space as much as an atom by circling around the nucleus.
Answer:
0.17325 moles per liter per second
Explanation:
For a first order reaction;
in[A] = in[A]o - kt
Where;
[A]= concentration at time t
[A]o = initial concentration
k= rate constant
t= time taken
ln0.5 =ln1 - 2k
2k = ln1 - ln0.5
k= ln1 - ln0.5/2
k= 0 -(0.693)/2
k= 0.693/2
k= 0.3465 s-1
Rate of reaction = k[A]
Rate = 0.3465 s-1 × 0.50 mol/L
Rate = 0.17325 moles per liter per second
