A change in which factor will affect the rate of reaction only when gases are involved?
A. temperature
B. pressure
C. surface area
Answer (2)
The factor that specifically affects the rate of reaction when gases are involved is pressure , as increasing pressure leads to more frequent collisions among gas molecules. Other factors like temperature and surface area influence reaction rates in general but do not uniquely impact gaseous reactions. Understanding these distinctions is crucial in chemical kinetics. ;
The factor that specifically affects the rate of reaction when gases are involved is pressure , as it increases the frequency of collisions among gas molecules. While temperature and surface area impact reaction rates more generally, they do not uniquely affect gaseous reactions. Therefore, I chose option B: pressure.
