How does the speed of sound in tap water compare with the speed of sound in pure water?

For a liquid, we find that the speed of sound decreaseswith increasing density but increases with increasing bulk modulus. Increasing the dissolved solids will increase density, but also bulk modulus. In general, bulk modulus will increase "faster" with an increase in dissolved solids than density will increase. And this translates into a net increase in the speed of sound in water with increasing dissolved solids. Tap water has dissolved solids, so the speed of sound in tap water should be higher than it is in pure water at the same temperature and pressure.


Why does crushing a substance speed up reaction rate?

You are increasing the surface area for the substance to react


Why does crushing a solid increase the speed at which the solid dissolves?

ALL reactions (apart from Nuclear) take place on the surface. By crushing the solid you are increasing the surface area and also the SA/Volume ratio. This increased surface area increases the area available for the dissolution reaction.


Why is the inner mitochondrial membrne folded?

The mitochondrial membrane's cristae are similar in size to villa lining the intestine and are there for much of the same purpose, to increase surface area for absorption.


How can the speed of a chemical reaction be increased?

The rate of chemical reaction can be increased by following ways:- 1. Adding a catalyst. 2. Increasing the temperature of system. 3. Increasing the surface area. 4. Increasing the stirring/mixing rate 5. Increasing the pressure of system (but take care as this is not always the case)
