Question

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

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

As a reaction progresses its rate goes down.

Reaction rates increase as concentrations of homogeneous catalysts increase

Reaction rates are determined by reactant concentrations, temperatures, and reactant stabilities.

Reaction rate constants increase with increasing temperature.

Reaction rates increase with increasing temperature.

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

Reaction rates increase with increasing temperature.-------------------------true

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

because

as the time in progress ,the concentration of the reactant decreases .so the rate of the reaction is also decreses.becauce the change in concentration is less

as the temperature increases,the no.of collisons among the reactant molecules in creases.consequently more no.of reactant molecules participate in the rate if the reaction.as result the change in concentration is more.consequently the rate of reaction also increases.

rate of the reaction is measured in terms rate constant once the rate of the reaction is increases with temperature,rate constant value is also increases.

the rate of the reaction is also depends up on the slow step.to understand this

suppose a cycle factory manufactures different parts like handles ,paddles,rims,seats,breaks---etc at the rate of 500,600,50,800,400pieces per day respectively.the overall rate of production of cycle can not be more than 50 per day.,which depends up on the slowest working section of the factory.(that is production of rims)
