Given two temperatures, 36°f and 72°f, which of the following correctly compares the number of opportunities for particles to align during a chemical reaction? a) same at both b) greater at 36°f c) greater at 72°f d) does not depend on temperature?

C) greater at 72°F

Explanation:

Hello,

Here, it is important to remember that when a chemical reaction commences, the reactants' molecules start to crash to yield the new species, the products. In such a way, when the temperature increases, such crashes become stronger and more repetitive as the molecules gain more energy to move faster and consequently ease the chemical change. Such crashes are directly related with the number of opportunities, say probabilities, the molecules have to crash and subsequently form the products.

Best regards.

answers: to make sure that all of the broken pieces of tablet were added to the water, to allow for fair comparison of all three trials, with different particle sizes to avoid experimental error
