The table shows the conditions during two trials of a reaction. Reaction Conditions
Trial Temperature Catalyst
1 30 °C Platinum
2 35 °C Platinum

Assuming that all other conditions remain the same during the two trials, which of the following is true for the reaction?
The reaction pathway for the two trials is different.
The activation energy barrier is lower during Trial 2 than Trial 1.
More reactant particles meet the activation energy requirement in Trial 2 than Trial 1.
The number of particles having the required activation energy is the same during Trial 2 and Trial 1.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.

the answer is option a.
