19 Which statement explains why increasing the temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction, while other conditions remain the same? (1) The reacting particles have less energy and collide less frequently. (2) The reacting particles have less energy and collide more frequently. (3) The reacting particles have more energy and collide less frequently. (4) The reacting particles have more energy and collide more frequently | 4 | link | particles have more energy and collide more frequently |
20 An open flask is half filled with water at 25°C. Phase equilibrium can be reached after (1) more water is added to the flask (2) the flask is stoppered (3) the temperature is decreased to 15°C (4) the temperature is increased to 35°C | 2 | link | equilibrium needs a closed system |
