The factors that affect the rate of a reaction are:
- <em>nature of the reactant</em> - when reactants with different chemical composition are exposed to same conditions they would react differently. For instance, when an acid or base is added on litmus paper, blue litmus paper turns red in presence of acid while red litmus paper turns blue when base is added.
- <em>surface area</em>- a compound with small pieces spread over a large area will react faster than a big lump of a compound occupying a small area.
- <em>temperature of reaction</em>- reactants would react faster at high temperatures. this is because they have higher kinetic energy to collide with each other. Hence a plate of food on the table spoils faster than a plate of food in the fridge.
- <em>concentration</em>- an increase in concentration leads to more molecules available to collide and form products. An example, when you add more of indicator in a solution, the color becomes more clear since more particles react to give more color.
- <em>presence of a catalyst</em>- a catalyst lowers the activation energy, which means less energy is required to shift reaction in forward direction. In the presence of iron (Fe) a catalyst, nitrogen N₂ and hydrogen H₂ react to produce NH₃
Answer:
Inverse proportion occurs when one value increases and the other decreases. For example, more workers on a job would reduce the time to complete the task. They are inversely proportional.
Well depends on what type of fish the parent is but i guess you can say:
what they eat
teeth
instincts
color
venom
blending in,etc
All pieces will be 17 g/cm^3 because the density is not affected by cutting (assuming the rock is uniform).
Answer:
Ca, Zn, Ni, Al, Fe
Explanation:
The activity series is an arrangement of metals in order of decreasing reactivity.
Metals that are high up in the activity series are very reactive. They displace metals that are lower in the activity series from an aqueous solution of their salts.
The metals; Ca, Zn, Ni, Al, Fe are all above Pb in the activity series hence they will cause Pb2+ ions to come out of solution as solid Pb.
