Which statement is correct about the rate of most chemical reactions? it increases when the concentration of reactants decreases. it does not depend on the concentration of reactants. it increases when the temperature increases. it does not depend on the temperature.

It increases when the temperature increases.

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius relation: k = Ae(-Ea/RT).The rate constant of the reaction and also the rate of the reaction increases exponentially with increasing the temperature of the reaction.As the temperature increases, the no. of molecules that can posses the critical energy (activation energy) to initiate the chemical reaction and pass the energy barrier increases.

Gas is a type of carbon, i think lol

Answer: abeexplanation:

1. the question asks the most appropriate, which seems to rule out "all of the above." your choice appears to be the correct one.

2. the protocol described is good for identifying correlation, but not cause and effect. for cause/effect, you need to devise a protocol that will assign the treatment (or not) to groups that have essentially the same "demographics" with respect to all the other variables. your choice regarding control group seems appropriate. random assignment of treatment (choice d) may be appropriate also. (i think you can argue that b and d are just different descriptions of the same method.)

3. d will randomize the birds, but may not guarantee there are 10 in each group. e will do both, so seems the better choice.

comment on question 2

based on the problem statement, it seems clear that confident, attentive drivers are more likely to use daytime running lights. so, the protocol might need to be devised in such a way that the lights would be turned on or off without the driver's knowledge. (an attentive driver will figure it out.) assigning a confident, attentive driver to a group required to drive without running lights might mess with his/her confidence and attentiveness. you don't want your experiment to do that. (nor do you want the experiment to subject a driver to greater risk of accident as a consequence of driving without running lights.) experiments involving human safety are always problematic.
