Q1. This graph shows the concentration of the reactant A in the reaction A → B. Determine the average
a) 0.07 M/s
b) 0.007 M/s
c) 0.86 M/s
d) 0.014 M/s
Introduction: The rate of change of concentration of products and reactants with respect to time is called the average rate of the reaction.
Answer to Problem 1SAQ
Correct answer: The average rate of the reaction is
Therefore, option (d) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Justify reasons for the correct statement:
The average rate of the reaction is written as follows:
So,
Hence, option (d) is correct.

- Consider 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. Experiment 1: [A]0 = 2.0 M [B]0 = 1.0 103 M [C]0 = 1.0 M [B] (mol/L) Time(s) 2.7 104 1.0 105 1.6 104 2.0 105 1.1 104 3.0 105 8.5 105 4.0 105 6.9 105 5.0 105 5.8 105 6.0 105 Experiment 2: [A]0 = 1.0 102M [B]0 = 3.0 M [C]0 = 1.0 M [A] (mol/L) Time(s) 8.9 103 1.0 7.1 103 3.0 5.5 103 5.0 3.8 103 8.0 2.9 103 10.0 2.0 103 13.0 Experiment 3: [A]0 = 10.0 M [B]0 = 5.0 M [C]0 = 5.0 101M [C] (mol/L) Time(s) 0.43 1.0 102 0.36 2.0 102 0.29 3.0 102 0.22 4.0 102 0.15 5.0 102 0.08 6.0 102 Write the rate law for this reaction, and calculate the value of the rate constant.arrow_forwardIf a textbook defined a catalyst as "a substance that increases the rate of a reaction," would that definition be adequate?arrow_forwardChemical reactions occur when reactants collide.
