0.5 grams of powdered magnesium which statement is true?
A.The powdered magnesium reacts faster because it has a greater surface area

B. The powdered magnesium reacts faster because the activation energy has been lowered

C.The magnesium strip reacts faster because it has a higher concentration of magnesium

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that <u>the powdered magnesium reacts faster because it has a greater surface area</u>.

<em>The rate of reaction is defined as the rate of disappearance of the reactants in a reaction or the rate of conversion of appearance of products during a reaction. </em>

The rate of reaction is dependent on several factors such as the concentration of the reactants, temperature of the reaction, nature of reactants, and the presence or absence of catalysts during the reaction.

As far as the nature of reactants is concerned, the surface area of reactants comes into play. <em>Reactants with higher surface areas react faster than reactants with lesser surface areas</em>. Hence, powdery reactants react faster than solid reactants because the latter has a higher surface area than the former.

The correct option is A.

What are all the intermolecular forces present in a sample of BrF?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

dipole-dipole

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces exists between the molecules of a substance in a particular state of matter.

The type of intermolecular forces present in  a substance is determined by the electronegativity difference between the atoms that compose the substance.

There is a non zero electronegativity difference  between Br and F hence the molecule is polar and the intermolecular forces between the molecules of BrF are dipole-dipole forces.

A gas tank holds 20000 liters at 850 torr. If the temperature remains constant, what will the volume, in L, of the gas be at sta
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: 22368.4 Liters

Explanation:

Initial Volume of gas V1 = 20000 liters

Initial pressure of gas P1 = 850 torr

Final volume V2 = ?

Final (standard) pressure P2 = 760 torr

Apply the formula for Boyle's law:

P1V1 = P2V2

850torr x 20000L = 760torr x V2

V2 = (850torr x 20000L)/ 760torr

V2 = (17000000)/760torr

V2 = 22368.4L

Thus, the volume of the gas at standard pressure is 22368.4 Liters
