Which factor would speed up a chemical reaction? (Choose all that apply) Decreasing particle size
Increasing the temperature
Decreasing the temperature
Increasing particle size

Increasing the temperature

Increasing particle size

Explanation:

Increasing the temperature allows for particles and molecules to move faster (because there is an increase in energy) and allows for more collisions.

∴ Increasing the temperature would be an answer.

Increasing the particle size allows for more surface area and a greater chance for particles to collide with each other.

∴ Increasing particle size would be an answer.

Increasing temp

Explanation:

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g
