The rate of reaction between marble chips and hydrochloric acid can be increased by: a) increasing the concentration of the hydrochloric acid, b) increasing the temperature of the hydrochloric acid. Explain why in terms of the reacting particle model.(6)

(For a reaction to occur, reactant particles must collide and interact with each other in some way.The rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the number of collisions between reactant molecules.) ...

Explain why successive ionization energies of an element increase

More energy is required to remove successive electrons from an ion with an increasing positive charge. There is large increases in ionization energy when the 2nd and 10th electrons are removed. This mean...

Excess KCN(aq) is added to a solution of [Co(H2O)6]2+. Identify the complex ion formed and predict its shape and charge.

[Co(CN)6]4-CN has -1 charge so overall charge is -4. CN- is similar sized ligand to H2O so shape is unchanged and remains octahedral.
