Question

If you put 100g of NaOH in cube form and 200g of NaOH in powered form which will react with HCl at a faster rate? Explain why

Answer 1

200g of NaOH in powered form will react with HCl at a faster rate

Step-by-step explanation:

200g of NaOH in powered form will react with HCl at a faster rate because it is in powdered form and it will have high surface area to volume ration and hence high reactivity and rate of reaction as compared to the cube NaOH.
