3

Which topic is commonly used to explain activation energy and how chemical reactions happen?

A
reaction rate
B
collision theory
C
velocity distribution
D
spontaneous reaction
5

Which will cause an increase in the reaction rate between molecules?

A
Molecules have strong internal bonding.
B
Molecules collide more frequently.
C
Electrons in the bonds remain in a meta-stable state.
D
Electrons do not have enough energy to leave the bonds.
6

Which best explains why sawdust burns more quickly than a block of wood of equal mass under the same conditions?

A
The molecules move more quickly in the sawdust than in the block of wood.
B
The pressure of oxygen is greater on the sawdust.
C
More molecules in the sawdust can collide with oxygen molecules.
D
Oxygen is more concentrated near the sawdust than the block of wood.
7

The production of water proceeds according to the following equation.2H2(g) + O2(g) 2H2O(g)Which describes a way to speed up the collisions between hydrogen and oxygen molecules to produce more water?

Question illustration
A
Use a less-intense source of heat on the reactants.
B
Maintain the same temperature of the reactants.
C
Place the reactants in a smaller container.
D
Reduce the concentration of the reactants.
8

A solid reactant is placed into a beaker of a warm water. The liquid vigorously bubbles as the solid dissolves into the solution. What will most likely happen if the temperature of the liquid is slightly reduced?

A
More bubbles will be produced because the solution is becoming more concentrated.
B
Fewer bubbles will be produced because of fewer collisions of reactant molecules.
C
The solid will get smaller at a faster rate because of more collisions of reactant molecules.
D
The solid will get larger at a slower rate because precipitate is coming out of the solution.
