Effect of increasing surface area on the rate of a reaction. ... Increasing the surface area of a solid reactant exposes more of its particles to attack. This results in an increased chance of collisions between reactant particles, so there are more collisions in any given time and the rate of reaction increases.
Answer:
1.327 g Ag₂CrO₄
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- 2AgNO₃(aq) + K₂CrO₄(aq) → Ag₂CrO₄(s) + 2KNO₃(aq)
First we need to <em>identify the limiting reactant</em>:
We have:
- 0.20 M * 50.0 mL = 10 mmol of AgNO₃
- 0.10 M * 40.0 mL = 4 mmol of K₂CrO₄
If 4 mmol of K₂CrO₄ were to react completely, it would require (4*2) 8 mmol of AgNO₃. There's more than 8 mmol of AgNO₃ so AgNO₃ is the excess reactant. <em><u>That makes K₂CrO₄ the limiting reactant</u></em>.
Now we <u>calculate the mass of Ag₂CrO₄ formed</u>, using the <em>limiting reactant</em>:
- 4 mmol K₂CrO₄ *
= 1326.92 mg Ag₂CrO₄
- 1326.92 mg / 1000 = 1.327 g Ag₂CrO₄
