- (a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. A balanced chemical reaction is necessary to relate the rate of reaction to the concentration of a reactant. As a reaction progresses its rate goes down. The rate of a slow step has more effect on the overall reaction rate than the rate of a fast step. Reaction rates are determined by reactant concentrations, temperatures, and reactant stabilities. Reaction rates increase with increasing temperature. Reactions involving very unstable combinations of chemicals have large rate constants.arrow_forwardSelect all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. 1. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion.2. The rate of a slow step has more effect on the overall reaction rate than the rate of a fast step.3. Reaction rates decrease with increasing temperature.4. As a reaction progresses its rate goes down.5. Solid catalysts increase reaction rates as their surface areas increase.6. The rate of a reaction is independent of temperature.7. Reaction rates can show little change as masses of solid reactants increase.arrow_forwardA metal cube dissolves in acid such that an edge of the cube decreases by 0.30 mm/min.

Boil for at least ten minutes to allow time for the color to leach out of the cabbage. Allow it to cool for 15 min • Filter out the plant material to obtain a red-purple-bluish colored liquid. 1. Add 1-2 drops of cabbage juice into a small bowl 2. Add 3-5 drops of vinegar into the bowl with the cabbage juice 3. Observe Is this a chemical change or physical change? Explain? Store the excess cabbage juice in your refrigerator, you will need them for future experiments.arrow_forwardThe formation of CsClCsCl from Cs(s)Cs(s) and Cl2(g)Cl2(g) involves the following steps: Cs(s)→Cs(g) 12Cl2(g)→Cl(g) Cs(g)→Cs+(g)+e− Cl(g)+e−→Cl−(g) Cs+(g)+Cl−(g)→CsCl(s) Which of these steps absorb energy and which release energy?arrow_forward
- (a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. Solid catalysts increase reaction rates as their surface areas increase. Catalysts decrease reaction rates. Reaction rate constants decrease with increasing temperature. The higher the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. O Reaction rates always increase as masses of solid reactants increase. Reaction rates decrease with increasing temperature.arrow_forwardBurning methane with oxygen is a highly exothermic reaction. Yet a mixture of methane and oxygen can be kept indefinitely without any reaction occurring. How is this possible?arrow_forwardWhen the concentrations of reactant molecules are increased, the rate of reaction increases. The best explanation for this is that as the reactant concentration increases, the activation energy increases. the frequency of molecular collisions increases. the average kinetic energy of molecules increases. the rate constant increases.arrow_forward
