Concept introduction:
The change in concentration of reactant and product per unit of time is termed as reaction rate of a
Answer to Problem 5SSC
The reactant or products’ concentration is indicated in the rate of a chemical equation.
Explanation of Solution
The rate of a chemical reaction indicates the change of concentration of reactant and product in unit time and also tells at what speed the reaction occurs. The negative sign in the rate equation indicates that the concentration of the particular compound decreases as the reaction proceeds but the reaction rate is always positive.
The rate of a chemical reaction always possesses positive value.
