In the reaction a + b c, doubling the concentration of a doubles the reaction rate and doubling the concentration of b doubles the reaction rate. which statement best describes this reaction? it is a second-order reaction in a and a second-order reaction in b. it is a first-order reaction in a and a second-order reaction in b. it is a first-order reaction in a and a first-order reaction in b. it is a second-order reaction in a and a first-order reaction in b. it is a zero-order reaction with respect to both reactants.

e. is the correct answer for plato users

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.

e

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
