When solid zinc is dropped into hydrochloric acid solution, it falls to the bottom due to its higher density. The reaction occurs at the surface of the zinc metal and generates hydrogen gas that bubbles up through the solution. You can tell that the rate increases because the rate of bubble formation increases. This will naturally occur because the reaction is exothermic and will warm the solution around the zinc metal. The higher temperature will increase the reaction rate.

If you want a more quantitative analysis of reaction rate, you can perform the experiment in a eudiometer tube that is inverted and completely filled with liquid. As the hydrogen gas collects in the tube you can measure its accumulated volume with time. That will allow you to determine an approximate kinetic rate law for the process. The rate law determined in this manner will suffer from error due to temperature and surface area changes as well as gas volume error due to water vapor. But, it is an interesting application of chemical kinetics.

Any factor that causes molecules to collide more frequently speeds up the reaction rate. This is achieved by an increase of the reactants concentration, surface area, raised temp. , raised pressure of gaseous reactant, or an addition of catalysts to the reactant

Pure research becomes ___ when scientists develop a hypothesis based on the data and try to solve a specific problem

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The answer is applied research

Explanation:

Pure research becomes applied research when scientists develop a hypothesis based on the data and try to solve a specific problem.

This is because the pure research try to understand, predict or explain the behavior of different phenomena (the data) while the applied research try to develop new technologies or methods (hypothesis) to take part, intervene and/or create changes on these phenomena and solve a specific problem.

What are the benefits of scientists using the metric system worldwide?select all that apply

denis-greek [22]

There are several scales to determine the weight of material. The chose of the weight scale depends upon the size of the material. Like if we have to measure the molecular or atomic weight of a molecule or atom we use gm. Like that for the bigger molecules like proteins the weight of the molecule is expressed by different scale due to its big size. Like that for big material like iron rods etc we generally use kilograms or ton. There are two types of measuring units one is C.G.S. and another is S.I. The S.I. units are more acceptable worldwide than that the C.G.S. units as the digit comes in SI units are easily handable than that of CGS.

Thus metric is used to determine a large weight of compounds which is a SI unit and handable.
