Which change would increase the rate of a reaction between marble chips and acid?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Using smaller marble chips
- Step 1: Rate rises when collisions are more frequent. Step 2. A larger surface area means more collisions. Answer: Using smaller marble chips, which have a larger surface area. Why not the others: The others slow the reaction.
