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 H₂SO_4(aq)

Temperature of the reacting mixture

Pressure of reaction system

Correct answer is D

The reaction rate between a solid and liquid will not be affected by pressure. Pressure majorly affects the reaction rate for gases.
