What is the appropriate relation between the reactions of gases and solids?
A
Gases react faster than the solids
B
Gases do not react at all while solids react faster
C
Both gases and solid reacts at a same rate
D
Gases react slower than the solids
Answer:
The correct option is A. Gases react faster than the solids
Note
Gases react much more quickly than do solids because mobilities are increased. In addition, the gaseous phase is often important in normal solid state reactions under isothermal conditions where it may act as a rapid means of transporting matter from one crystal to another.
