Could you explain how an increased temperature increases the rate of reaction?

A chemical reaction will only occur if the molecules collide with enough energy, when you apply heat to a reaction you're giving the molecules more energy so when they collide they're more likely to react. A...

25 cm^3 of a solution of known 0.2M HCl is neutralised by titration by 21.5cm^3 of NaOH solution. Calculate then concentration of the NaOH solution to 3dp.

Recall n = c *(v/1000) if the volume is in Cm 3 . Now, n(HCl)= 0.2 x (25.0/1000) n(HCl) = 5x10 -3 Since the relationship stoichiometrically is 1:1 (H + : OH - ), we can infer that n(NaOH) = 5x10 -3 and by re...

25.00cm3 of sodium hydroxide was pipetted into a conical flask. It was titrated against 0.10mol/dm3 hydrochloric acid. The mean volume of acid needed was 24.00cm3. Calculate the concentration of sodium hydroxide used in the titration.

First write out the chemical equation: ​​​​​​ HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H 2 0 Next construct a table with the information we have and in what units. Next write out what calculation triangle we need: Number of ...
