Describe how the surface area affect the rate of a reaction

Chemistry

leva [86]3 years ago
7 0
When we increase the surface area of an object, more atoms are exposed. Since more atoms are exposed, the atoms can react faster, and this is why the rate of a reaction increases when the surface area increases.

For example, lets say we want to heat a potato. If we just put the whole potato in the microwave, it will take a long time for the potato to get thoroughly heated. However, if we chop the potato into smaller pieces, we will observe that it gets heated much faster. This is because we increased the surface area of the potato, which resulted in more potato atoms to be exposed to the heat, and caused the reaction to be faster.

Journal entries

Materials

Lab reports

Artworks

Explanation:

Definition of a Portfolio:

Portfolio can be defined as a physical collection of student work that includes materials such as written assignments, completed tests, artwork, lab reports, physical projects and other material evidence of learning progress and academic accomplishment, including awards and honors,

A portfolio is a long-term form of self reflection and assessment that students do together.

Portfolios are a great way to demonstrate the competencies you would list on a resume or talk about in a science interview

Equal volumes of two solutions, one containing a strong acid at pH 2 and the other containing a strong base at pH 12, are mixed.
mash [69]

Answer:

7  

Explanation:

Assume we have 1 L of each solution.

Solution 1

\text{[H$^{+}$]}= 10^\text{-pH} \text{ mol/L} = 10^{\text{-2}} \text{ mol/L}\\ \text{ moles of H}^{+} = \text{ 1 L solution} \times \dfrac{10^{-2}\text{ mol H}^{+}}{\text{1 L solution}} = 10^{-2}\text{ mol H}^{+}

Solution 2

pH = 12

pOH = 14.00 - pOH = 14.00 - 12 = 2.0

\text{[OH$^{-}$]}= 10^\text{-pOH} \text{ mol/L} = 10^{\text{-2}} \text{ mol/L}\\ \text{ moles of OH}^{-} = \text{ 1 L solution} \times \dfrac{10^{-2}\text{ mol OH}^{-}}{\text{1 L solution}} = 10^{-2}\text{ mol OH}^{-}

3. pH after mixing

               H⁺  +  OH⁻ ⟶ H₂O

I/mol:     10⁻²    10⁻²  

C/mol:   -10⁻²   -10⁻²

E/mol:      0        0

The H⁺ and OH⁻ have neutralized each other. The pH will be that of pure water.

pH = 7

Which statement is always true about a reversible chemical reaction?
Alecsey [184]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option (B):

The products can form reactants, and the reactants can form products.

<h3>Explanation:</h3><h3>Reversible reaction</h3>

A reversible reaction is a reaction where the reactants form products, which react together to give the reactants back.

aA + bB ⇄ cC + dD

A and B can react to form C and D or, in the reverse reaction, C and D can react to form A and B.

Other options are wrong because off:

(A) Concentration changes with time equilibrium concentration and higher product concentration is also possible.

(C) They may be constant.

(D) Concentration changes with time equilibrium concentration and higher reactant concentration is also possible.
