Given the balanced equation representing a reaction: Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) - H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq)
Which set of reaction conditions produces H2(g) at the fastest rate?
A.
a 1.0-g lump of Zn(s) in 50. mL of 0.5 M HCl(aq) at 20.°C
B.
a 1.0-g lump of Zn(s) in 50. mL of 0.5 M HCl(aq) at 30.°C
C.
1.0 g of powdered Zn(s) in 50. mL of 1.0 M HCl(aq) at 20. °C
D
1.0 g of powdered Zn(s) in 50. mL of 1.0 M HCl(aq) at 30.°C

D  1.0 g of powdered Zn(s) in 50. mL of 1.0 M HCl(aq) at 30.°C

Explanation:

There are several factors affecting and controlling the rate of chemical reactions.

Some of which are applicable in resolving this problem is the nature of the reactants and their concentration. Also, the temperature of the reaction is also very important.

a  solution  is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. the  solution  is homogeneous and does not settle out. a colloid is intermediate between asolution  and a  suspension. while asuspension  will separate out a colloid will not.
