A2.0-g piece of mg reacts with hno3. which conditions would produce the greatest reaction rate

0.5 m hno3 at 20 c

0.5 m hno3 at 40

1.0 m hno3 at 20

1.0 m hno3 at 40

1.0 M HNO3 at 40°C

Explanation:

Rate of chemical reaction: This can be defined as the number of moles of reactant, converted or product formed per unit time.

Factors that affect rate of chemical reaction:

(a) Temperature:  Generally, an increase in temperature increase the rate of chemical reaction by (1) increasing the number of particles with energy equal to or greater than the activation energy, (2) Increasing the average speed of all the reactant particles, due to greater kinetic energy, leading to higher frequency of collision.

(b) Concentration: An increase or decrease in the concentration of the reactant will  result to a corresponding increase or decrease in the effective collision of the reactant and hence in the reaction rate.

other factors that affect the rate of chemical reaction are

(i) Nature of the reactant

(ii) Surface area of reactant

(iii) presence of light

(iv) presence of catalyst.

From the question above,

The condition with the highest temperature and concentration will produce the GREATEST reaction rate.

And that is  1.0 M HNO3 at 40 °C
