How does a temperature increase cause the rate of a reaction to increase? A. It increases the kinetic energy of the molecules.
B. It decreases orientation requirements of the molecules.
C. It increases the equilibrium constant for the reaction.
D. It decreases the activation energy of the reaction.

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.

The solid xy decomposes into gaseous x and y: xy(s) m x(g) + y(g) kp = 4.1 (at 0 °c) if the reaction is carried out in a 22.4 l container, which initial amounts of x and y will result in the formation of solid xy?

Which statement justifies that hydrogen peroxide (h2o2) is a polar molecule? the o – h bond is nonpolar and the molecule is asymmetric. the o – h bond is nonpolar and the molecule is symmetric. the o – h bond is polar and the molecule is asymmetric. the o – h bond is polar and the molecule is symmetric.
