A reaction takes place between an acid and 0.5 gram of solid magnesium ribbon. Another reaction takes place between an acid and

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

D. The magnesium strip reacts faster because it will create a higher temperature once the reaction starts

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.

Arada [10]

Answer:

The organs present inside the chest are :

1. The lungs

2. The heart

Explanation:

The chest cavity is also called as the thoracic cavity. It is the second largest hollow space of the body.In the bottom , it is enclosed by the diaphragm.

This cavity actually contain three space each round with mesothelium , pleural cavity and precardial cavity.

This contain the lungs , the tracheobronchial tree , the heart , the blood vessels which transport the blood between the heart and the lungs.

It also contain the esophagus .

Esophagus is the path through which the food passes from the mouth to the stomach.

A student experimentally determines the density of a metal cube. The edge length of the cube is measured using calipers. The cub
IgorC [24]

Answer:

10.9%.

Explanation:

The first thing to do in order to solve this question is to Determine the value for the volume of the the cube. This can be done by taking the cube root of the length of the cube;

The volume of the cube = (length of the cube)^3 = length × length × length = 1.72 × 1.72 × 1.72 =( 1.72)^3 = 5.09cm^3.

The next thing you do is to Determine the exponential density, the can be done by using the formula below;

The exponential density = mass/ volume = 55. 786/ 5.09 = 10.96 g/cm^3.

Therefore, the percent error = (true density of the cube - exponential density of the cube)÷ true density of the cube × 100.

Hence, the percent error = 12.30 - 10.96/12.30 × 100 = 10.9%.
