Describe how the surface area affect the rate of a reaction

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

The pOH of a solution is 10.75. What is the concentration of OH– ions in the solution?. A. –1.031 M. B. 1.778 x 10–11 M. C. 5.62
zloy xaker [14]
We are given the pOH of the solution of 10.75. pOH is the property of the solution that is related to the OH ion concentration of the solution. THe formula to be followed is pOH = -log (OH); OH- = 10^-pOH. In this case, OH-  = 10^-10.75 equal to B. 1.778 x 10^-11 M

Describe how antibodies protect your body against disease when exposed to a virus
Ludmilka [50]
When children are small they are given vaccines that are usually dead viruses given to the body. These viruses don't cause damage to body and the body takes it as a real virus and prepare antibodies in the body but when a certain real disease or virus is in the body , the already presented antibodies fight with them for the protection of the body. These antibodies remain in the body so that when a disease or virus attacks the body the antibodies are already geared up to fight against them. Thus antibodies protect the body against invading microbes or viruses.

How does solar radiation affect the thermosphere?<br> God bless all! :)
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Thermospheric temperatures increase with altitude due to absorption of highly energetic solar radiation. ... Radiation causes the atmosphere particles in this layer to become electrically charged particles, enabling radio waves to be refracted and thus be received beyond the horizon.
