*concentration*

b. Firewood is chopped up into kindling to help start a fire.

Are my answers correct? If not please correct me.

Answer 1

I would have given different answers to d and e. I agree with the others.
d. Lemon juice removes the iron stain by forming a complex of iron with citric acid in the juice. Therefore, I would have answered concentration. Under the right conditions, temprature could play a role, also. Generally, however, one can't light a match under the sink to heat it up BUT we can run hot water over the stain for a period of time to make it warmer. And I've done that to make it easier to scrub the sink clean.
e.Pushing the gas pedal ADDS more gas to the engine and that makes the engine run faster which results in a faster speed. I would have chosen concentration.
