Question

The production of water proceeds according to the following equation.
2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g)
Which describes a way to speed up the collisions between hydrogen and oxygen molecule:
Use a less-intense source of heat on the reactants.
Maintain the same temperature of the reactants.
Place the reactants in a smaller container.
Reduce the concentration of the reactants.

Answer 1

Answer:

Place the reactants in a smaller container.

Explanation:

If you were to reduce the source of heat, the hydrogen and oxygen molecules would lose their kinetic energy, resulting in less collisions.

_______________________________________________________

Maintaining the same temperature of the reactants, the speed would neither increase nor decrease as temperature is directly proportional to the kinetic energy of the molecules, which in turn is directly proportional to the number of collisions. However, placing the reactants in a smaller container would result in less volume, and hence the molecules would collide with one another more often!

Hope that helps!
