The strumming is mechanical energy
the notes heard is sound energy
so use D
b. increase in surface area
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Speeding up a chemical reaction
Required
Factors used to speed up reactions
Solution
There are several factors that influence reaction kinetics :
1. Concentration
2. Surface area
3. Temperature
4. Catalyst
5. Pressure
6. Stirring
Temperature is related to the kinetic energy of the particles. Heat is absorbed causes the particles of matter to move faster so that the reaction can take place faster
The enlarged surface area of the reactants causes more particles to react with other particles.
50 g square block of sulfur can be broken into small pieces or powdered so that more particles come into contact with each other
The statement is true. The octet rule refers to the general rule of thumb wherein atoms of main-group elements tend to bond with other atoms in such a way that each atom possesses eight electrons (octet) in their valence shell. They tend to form the same electronic configuration as the noble gases. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. One of which is silane, SiH₄. A hydrogen atom only has 1 valence electron and needs another electron to complete its energy level. This is unlike other atoms, for example, carbon which has 4 valence electrons and needs to form 4 covalent bonds to fill its energy levels. Thus, 4 hydrogen atoms need only 4 more electrons. This is given by the silicon atom which has 4 valence electrons. Therefore, when a silicon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms, the resulting molecule, SiH₄, is a stable one.
No. bacteria only needs food to live along with other special needs depending on the type of bacteria
