A reaction occurs when solid X is placed into solution Y. As a result, the temperature of the new solution increases by 3°C. The temperature rises another 2°C when more of solid X is added to the solution. What does this indicate about the effect of adding more solid? It increased the number of molecular collisions. It decreased the number of molecular collisions. It decreased the space between the molecules and lowered the reaction rate. It increased the space between the molecules and increased the reaction rate.

It increased the number of molecular collisions.

Explanation:

As temperature increases the molecules become more energized and move faster causing more collisions.

it is a solid

explanation:

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

intensive property is the physical property which does not depend on the size of system or amount of material present in system.

for example, color, density, melting point, boiling point etc are all intensive properties.

thus, we can conclude that the boiling point and color of a substance are both examples of intensive properties because they do not depend on the amount of matter in the sample.
