Question

In which of the forms listed would 0.5 g aluminum react thefastest with gaseous chlorine? a. 0.5 g aluminum in one piece b. 0.5 g aluminum divided into 10 pieces c. 0.5 g aluminum divided into 100 pieces d. 0.5 g aluminum divided into 1000 pieces e. All the choices will react at the same rate, sincethe temperature is the same.

All the choices will react at the same rate, sincethe temperature is the same.

Explanation / Answer

      0.5 g aluminium dividedinto 1000 pieces will react fast with the gaseouschlorine because the finely divided substances providelarge surface area for the reaction to take place. Hence thereactivity increases.

           theanswer is d).
