The concentration of reactants and products and the rate of reaction were measured during a chemical reaction. After the first 3 seconds, the rate of reaction was 1.8 x10-6 M/s. Which of the following would explain a lower rate after another 3 seconds?
The concentration of reactants increased while the concentration of product decreased.
The concentration of reactants decreased while the concentration of product increased.
O All concentrations of reactants and products decreased.
O All concentrations of reactants and products increased.

Which statements are true about electrolysis? check all that apply. electrolysis requires an acid be present. electrolysis is described by two half-reactions. electrolysis is not an industrial process. electrolysis results in commercially valuable products. electrolysis involves the transfer of electrons. reduction results in the loss of electrons. oxidation results in the loss of electrons.

Straightforward questions answered in the powerpoint slidesreaction: heating the starting materials under refluxwhat does it mean to heat under reflux? why do we choose water as the reflux solvent? what are boiling chips used for? why do we put a condenser on top of the reaction? why do we add heat and let the reaction stir for 30 minutes? why do we add sulfuric acid to the reaction after it cools as opposed to when it’s still hot? separation: filtration of precipitatewhy don’t we do an aqueous and organic extraction in the separatory funnel? why do you rinse the salicylic acid on the filter with ice cold water? purification: recrystallization of salicylic acid (no hot filtration needed)what is the difference in the amount of room temperature water vs. boiling water needed to dissolve the salicylic acid (assume a 1.2 gram yield of salicylic acid)? remember, in the lab if you need x ml of boiling water to dissolve a solid, then you should add a little more (definitely no more than 1.5 times the theoretical amount) to ensure it doesn’t recrystallize prematurely.analysis: melting point of salicylic acidwhat can you conclude if the melting point of the salicylic acid you just synthesized is 152-155oc and the 1: 1 mix of your product and “synthetic” salicylic acid is 151-154oc?

Which process does not require the presence of a physical substance in order to transfer heat? air in the atmosphere is heated by the ground. this warm air then rises, and cooler air falls. this is an example of what type of process? how is conduction different from radiation?
