How does increasing the temperature affect collisions?
O A. It makes the molecules stick together when they hit.
B. It increases the number of high-energy collisions.
O C. It lowers the amount of energy the collisions must have.
D. It reduces how hard the molecules hit each other.

B

Explanation:

Increasing the temperature makes the molecules more "excited" and move more and faster which as a result, creates more collisions.

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8
