Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The change that is likely to increase the rate of reaction in a reaction mixture is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Le Chatelier’s principles states that if a system at equilibrium is disturbed then the systemis shift in a direction which minimizes the disturbance.

  • The rate of reaction is defined as the quantity of reactant that converts to product in certain time period.

  • There are two types of reactions such as fast reaction and slow reaction. The reaction which proceeds quickly is the fast reaction and the reaction which proceeds slowly is slow reaction.

Answer to Problem 1SAQ

Correct answer: Option (b) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct option: The increase in concentration of reactant will shift the equilibrium in the direction of product formation which increasesthe rate of reaction.Thus, on increasing the concentration of reactant,the rate of reaction also increases.

Therefore, option (b) is correct

Reasons for incorrect options: Option (a) is incorrect because on decreasing the temperature, the rate of a chemical reaction also decreases. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c) is incorrect because on increasing the volume, concentration of reactant molecule decreases and result a decrease in rate of reaction.

Option (d) is incorrect as correct answer lies in option (b).

Thus, theoptions (a), (c) and (d) are incorrect.

In general as a reaction proceeds, what happens to the rate of the reaction? Select one: a. Generally as a reaction proceeds the reaction rate will increase with time. b. Generally as a reaction proceeds the reaction rate will remain constant with time. c. Generally as a reaction proceeds the reaction rate will decrease with time.
in the reaction, how What a reaction shift (left or right) if we place the reaction a hot water bath(added heat)? What would the reaction color be after the shift?
How would the reaction rate change if you heat a reaction up? The reaction rate will increase Not enough information to tell. The reaction rate will decrease The reaction rate will remain constant
