In an experiament involving a reaction between two gases, the same number of moles are placed in two different syringes, what will be the difference in reaction rates

Explanation:

Generally, the factors that affect rate of chemical reactions include

From the above, it shows that some of these factors do not need to be considered when discussing rate of reaction of gases of equal moles as we have in the question.

The factors that will determine the difference in the reaction rates of the gases in the two syringes will  just be temperature of the syringes (if the temperature of the syringes are not the same) and the pressure applied on the gases in the syringes (if the pressure applied to the syringes are not the same). If catalyst is introduced to one and not to the other, that will be increase the rate of the reaction in the one the catalyst is introduced and hence the reaction rate varies.

An increase in temperature and/or pressure will lead to an increase in the rate of reaction.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.

i think it's c. i'm not sure but i think so.
