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.

- Consider 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_forwardBased on the diagram in Exercise 12.83, which of the reactions has the fastest rate?
