But the question specifies forward reaction rate.
Since it is exothermic reaction, wouldn't increasing the temperature increase the backward reaction rate?

This is a trick many students fall for. Increasing the temperature increases both forward and backward rates, but due to the equilibrium position, it would increase the rate of the backward reaction by a relatively larger amount.

Why not B? Isn't Cl more reactive than I?

 

[nehaoscar]

Why A?

How is 3 correct?

 

[Studydayandnight]

Correct answer is B.

How is the answer D?

How is the answer D?

2 moles of water are formed, and the arrow is pointed in the correct direction, so it is +2 multiplied by the enthalpy of formation of water.

 

[Studydayandnight]

Wouldn't a lower temperature increase the rate of the forward reaction since it's exothermic? So why is it A instead of D??

Yeah I get that part but why is it +, why not - ?

 

[Studydayandnight]

Answer is D. Please explain!

This is similar to the other question above. Increase in pressure will increase both forward and backward rates, but by different amounts. In this case, the forward will be speeded up more than the backward.

The direction of the arrow points toward the compound, and as the term "formation" suggests, it is the correct direction and thus the sign is +.

Answer is D. Please explain!

Treat the dipoles as vectors. The C-Cl bonds are in opposite directions, so they cancel out each other.

The question states that vigorous effervescence occurred, so naturally I would opt for C, because Barium is the most reactive element amongst the other choices.

but isn't it that barium forms the most stable compounds and so they might not decompose on heating under a bunsen burner..through this logic I eliminated C at first

The first reaction is the decomposition of the CaCO3 to CaO and CO2. BaCO3 remains unaffected.

The 2nd reaction is the reaction of the BaCO3 with the acid.
