QUESTION 3

Why does stirring increase the rate of solution formation for a solid solute in a liquid solvent?

Stirring brings solute particles closer together and provides them with additional energy.

Stirring mixes solute particles with solvent particles more thoroughly, providing more chances of interaction.

Stirring makes the entire solution warmer so that the temperature increases noticeably.

Stirring agitates the solute particles and increases the rate of precipitation.

QUESTION 29

Although aluminum is a more active metal than iron, and therefore, oxidizes more quickly than iron, aluminum degrades much more slowly than iron. This is because:

There is more aluminum than iron available on the Earth.

Aluminum oxide coats the exposed aluminum surfaces preventing further corrosion.

The iron is more reactive with a greater number of environmental agents.

The iron oxide is much more soluble in water than the aluminum oxide.
