How can the rate of a reaction be decreased? A) lowering the temperature

B) adding a catalyst

C) increasing the amount of reactants

D) having more surface area

A

Explanation:

When heat is added molecules would move faster so like chicken noodle soup when its boiling on the stove it moves fast but when you turn it off the noodles start slowing down so using less heat makes the reaction slow down and cool

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
