This graph shows the concentration of the reactant A in the reaction
- 0.014 M/S
- 0.07 M/S
- 0.86 M/S
- 0.007 M/S
Interpretation:
To find out the average rate of the reaction between 0 and 10 seconds.
Concept Introduction:
Change in concentration of any product or reactant with respect to time is called as the rate of reaction.
Correct answer:
Option (a) is correct and options (b), (c) and (d), are incorrect.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct option:
The concentrations at 0 s and 10 s are marked as:
The average between 0 and 10 seconds is calculated as:
Thus, option (a) is correct.

- . Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.arrow_forwardConsider the following statements: In general, the rate of a chemical reaction increases a bit at first because it takes a while for the reaction to get warmed up. After that, however, the rate of the reaction decreases because its rate is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and these are decreasing. Indicate everything that is correct in these statements, and indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect statements and explain.arrow_forwardA rate of reaction depends on four variables (Question 13.1). Explain by means of an example how the rate law deals with each of these variables.arrow_forward
- Explain what is meant by the average rate of a reaction.arrow_forwarduse the kineticmolecular theory to explain why an increase in temperature increases reaction rate.arrow_forwardWhen every collision between reactants leads to a reaction, what determines the rate at which the reaction occurs?arrow_forward
- Account for the relationship between the rate of a reaction and its activation energy.arrow_forwardBy which of the following mechanisms does a catalyst operate? a. It decreases the activation energy barrier for a reaction. b. It serves as a reactant and is consumed. c. It increases the temperature of a reaction. d. It increases the concentration of reactants.arrow_forwardConsider the hypothetical reaction A+B+2C2D+3E In a study of this reaction three experiments were run at the same temperature. The rate is defined as [B]/t.
