The graph shows the volume of a gaseous product formed during two trials of a reaction. A different concentration of reactant wa

s used during each trial, whereas the other factors were kept constant.
Which of the following statements explains which trial has a lower concentration of the reactant?

A: Trial 1, because the average rate of the reaction is lower.
B: Trial 1, because this reaction lasted for a longer duration than Trial 2.
C: Trial 2, because this reaction was initially fast and later slowed down.
D: Trial 2, because the volume of product formed per unit time was higher.

A: Trial 1, because the average rate of the reaction is lower.

The rate of reaction is the speed with which reactants are converted into products. It is also the rate at which reactants disappear and products appear.  The higher the rate of reaction, the greater the amount of product formed in a reaction.

If we look at the graph, we will realize that trial 1 produces a lesser amount of product than trial 2. This implies that the  average rate of the reaction in trial 1 is lower than in trial 2.

Lower average rate of reaction implies lower concentration of the reactants since the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of reactants.

Hence trial 1 has a lower concentration of reactants because the average rate of the reaction is lower.

The correct option is option A: Trial 1, because the average rate of the reaction is lower

<em>The average rate of reaction increases as the concentration of reactants increases;</em>

The rate of reaction increases as the concentration of reactants increases because the number moles of the reaction particles increases resulting in increased collisions among the reacting particles followed by an increase in the number of effective collisions to form the total possible number of the product at a shorter time which shows a higher reaction rate.

The higher the reaction rate, the steeper the slope of the graph of the Amount of Products to Time produced and, from the given graph, Trial 2 has a higher average rate of reaction and given that other factors were kept constant, a higher concentration of reaction, while, Trial 1 that has a gentler slope of Amount of Product to Time has a lower concentration of the reactant, and therefore, the average rate of reaction in Trial 1, is lower

Therefore, the statement that explains which trial has a lower concentration of the reactant is option A, Trial 1, because the average rate of the reaction is lower

What is the environmental effect of 3NaCl
katrin [286]

Answer:

Sodium and chloride ions separate when salts are dissolved in water. The dissolved sodium and chloride ions, in high concentrations, can displace other mineral nutrients in the soil. Plants then absorb the chlorine and sodium instead of needed plant nutrients such as potassium and phosphorus, leading to deficiencies.

What is the 10% rule? What is its significance? Why is energy lost?
TEA [102]
The 10% rule means that approximately there will be only 10% energy transferred from a trophic level into another. That was because the consumer on the upper level will use the energy before it was consumed. About 90% of the energy used so only 10% remain will be transferred.
Example: an antler eating grass with a total 100 calories. Then the antler is moving and growing, using 90 calories. Then a lion eats the antler, but the energy remains is only 10 calorie because 90 calories are already used.

Describe your understanding of atoms and their subatomatic particles
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Atom is the building block of matter. The atom itself made up of subatomic particles electron, proton and neutron.

Explanation:

Long time ago, Greek philosopher thoughts that matter can be divided into smaller particles until a point is reached when the basic unit is obtained which can not be further sub divided. A Greek philosopher Democritus called these basic units "Atom".

Later on modern research showed that atom could be divided into smaller particles electron, proton and neutron. These smaller particles are called sub-atomic particles of atom.

Atoms are the fundamental unit of matter. Every thing in the universe that occupy space and have mass is called matter. we can say that every matter is composed of atoms. while the atom is composed of subatomic particles called electron proton and neutron.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol = e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

Proton and Neutron:

An atom consist of positively charged central core (nucleus) that is made up of Proton and neutron.  Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P+  

Symbol of neutron= n0  

Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons.
