Consider the reaction represented by the following equation: CuO\(_{(s)}\) + H\(_2\)SO\(_{4(aq)}\) → CuSO\(_{4(aq)}\) + H\(_2\)O\(_{(l)}\). Which of the following factors will not affect the rate of the reaction?
- Particle size of CuO(s)
- Concentration of H2SO4(aq)
- Temperature of the reacting mixture
-
Pressure of reaction system
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
The reaction rate between a solid and liquid will not be affected by pressure. Pressure majorly affects the reaction rate for gases.
