Question

a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below.

a) The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion.


b) Reaction rates always increase as masses of solid reactants increase.


c) The rate of a slow step has more effect on the overall reaction rate than the rate of a fast step.


d) Reaction rates decrease with increasing temperature.


e) Solid catalysts increase reaction rates as their surface areas increase.


f) Reaction rates increase with increasing temperature.


g) A balanced chemical reaction is necessary to relate the rate of reaction to the concentration of a reactant.


Explanation / Answer

rate of the reaction : may be define as change in concentration of reactants or products in one unit time.


a) The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion.

c) The rate of a slow step has more effect on the overall reaction rate than the rate of a fast step.

e) Solid catalysts increase reaction rates as their surface areas increase.

f) Reaction rates increase with increasing temperature.

g) A balanced chemical reaction is necessary to relate the rate of reaction to the concentration of a reactant.
