One of the solid reactants was treated in a coffee grinder before adding to the reaction container. *

O

A. Concentration

B. Temperature

C. Surface Area

D. Catalyst

E. Agitation

C. Surface area

Explanation:

The rate of  chemical reaction depends on various factors such as:

Effect of surface area of reactants: the rate of a chemical reaction can be increased by increasing the the area of contact of the reacting substances. This is especially important when one or more of the reactants are solids., because only the particles of the solid that are exposed are able to take part in the reaction at each instant of time. Therefore, the greater the surface area of the solid reactant particles the faster the reaction.

The surface area of solid reactants can be increased by grinding or pelletizing, thus allowing for a greater contact between the reacting particles,

The instance in which one of the solid reactants was treated in a coffee grinder before adding to the reaction container is one way of increasing the surface area of a reactant.

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
