Question

which of the following would most likely increase the rate of tnt exploding? decreasing the concentration of tnt increasing the temperature decreasing the temperature increase the number of reactants c₇h₅n₃o₆→n₂ + h₂ + co + c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reaction - rate factors

Reaction rate is affected by concentration, temperature, etc.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Decreasing TNT concentration lowers reaction rate.
• Increasing temperature generally increases reaction rate as it provides more kinetic energy to reactant molecules.
• Decreasing temperature slows down reaction rate.
• TNT is the only reactant here, so increasing number of reactants is not applicable.

Answer:

B. Increasing the temperature
