Astudent performs the reaction shown below.
naoh + hcl → nacl + h2o
she increases the concentrations of naoh and hcl, and finds that nacl is produced much more quickly. which explains the outcome of her experiment?
naoh and hcl molecules collide more frequently at higher concentrations. (i think it's this one)
nacl requires a high concentration for any reaction to occur.
hcl acts as a catalyst, but only at high concentrations.
the higher concentrations create a higher temperature in the solution.

Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to collision theory, more is the number of collisions more will be the rate of reaction, that is, more quickly product will be formed.

Therefore, when we increase the concentration of reactants then there will be increase in number of reactant molecules. Hence, more will be the reactant molecules more will be the collisions.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given reaction NaOH and HCl molecules collide more frequently at higher concentrations.

i think it because equal matrices have equal dimensions, only square matrices can be symmetric. for all indices and . every square diagonal matrix is symmetric, since all off-diagonal elements are zero. in linear algebra, a real symmetric matrix represents a self-adjoint operator over a real inner product space.
