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.

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.
