QuestionWhich factors yield the fastest reaction rate: A. at with , B. at with , or C. at with foil?
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The reaction rate is influenced by the concentration of the reactants, the temperature, and the physical state of the reactants. . Higher concentrations of reactants, higher temperatures, and smaller particle sizes (which increase the surface area) generally result in faster reaction rates.
STEP 2
Let's first compare the concentration of the reactants in each option.A. B. C.
STEP 3
From the comparison in2, we can see that option A has the highest concentration of HCl. Higher concentrations of reactants generally result in faster reaction rates.
STEP 4
Next, let's compare the temperature in each option.
A.
B.
C.
STEP 5
From the comparison in4, we can see that option A has the highest temperature. Higher temperatures generally result in faster reaction rates.
STEP 6
Finally, let's compare the physical state of the reactants in each option.
A. powderB. powderC. foil
STEP 7
From the comparison in6, we can see that options A and B use zinc powder, while option C uses zinc foil. Smaller particle sizes, such as those found in a powder, increase the surface area and generally result in faster reaction rates.
STEP 8
By comparing the concentration of the reactants, the temperature, and the physical state of the reactants in each option, we can conclude that option A will result in the fastest reaction rate.
The combination of factors that will result in the fastest reaction rate is at with powder.
