Question

The graph below compares the rates of reaction of a burning candle and an exploding firework.

Answer 1

Answer:

The reaction that causes a firework to explode requires less energy to start, and occurs more rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn.

Explanation:

The speed of a chemical reaction and the amount of energy required for this reaction is directly linked to the concentration of reagents present in the system. With that, we can say that the higher the concentration of reagents, the faster the chemical reaction will be due to the greater probability of collision between its molecules.

Although the reaction that causes a candle to burn has more reactants than the reaction that causes the fireworks to explode, the latter requires less energy to start. This makes the molecules of the reagents stir faster and collide more efficiently, making the reaction happen much faster.

In summary, the reaction that causes a firework to explode requires less energy to start and occurs more quickly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn.
