Chapter 16, Problem 5E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The effect of decreasing the concentration of the reactant on the rate of the reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Rate of reaction experimentally depends upon the following factors: concentration of the reactants, temperature of the reaction and the catalyst. When in a chemical reaction a catalyst is added, and the concentration of the reactants and temperature is increased, the rate of chemical reaction increases.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The effect of decreasing the temperature of the reaction on the rate of reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Rate of a reaction depends upon the collision frequency, collision energy, and collision orientation. The molecules should collide in proper orientation so that the reaction takes place. As the temperature increases, the collision frequency increases and the molecules collide with more energy. Therefore, rate of reaction increases.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The effect of adding an acid catalyst on rate of reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Rate of a reaction depends upon the collision frequency, collision energy, and collision orientation. The molecules should collide in proper orientation so that the reaction takes place. As the temperature increases, the collision frequency increases and the molecules collide with more energy. Therefore, rate of reaction increases.
