Reaction Rate

Question 15 • FL-2003350-Chemistry 1 Honors

Your stomach is upset. You want relief – and fast! What actions could you take to speed up the reaction of the tablet? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
heating the water even more
B
cooling the water down
C
using half a tablet
D
breaking the tablet into smaller pieces
E
decreasing the amount of water
F
heating the water and breaking the tablet at the same time

Explanation

Warmer water makes the tablet’s reaction happen faster because its particles move faster and collide more often. Breaking the tablet into smaller pieces exposes more surface area to the water, also speeding the reaction. Doing both combines these effects; using half a tablet or less water does not directly increase the reaction rate.
