Answer to Question #118134 in Chemistry for Angelina

Question

The nature of the reactants is a factor affect rate because: check all that applies



a) some molecules are not symmetrical



b)some molecules have higher energy bonds



c)dissolved ions tend to have a faster rate of reaction



d)dissolved ions tend to attract each other

Answer 1

Solution.

The nature of the reagents affects the speed of the chemical reaction. Dissolved ions tend to react at a high rate. High-energy bonds in molecules lead to inertia of the molecule, since it takes a lot of energy to break them. Asymmetric molecules have a high reaction rate, unlike symmetrical ones.

Answer:

a, c
