Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

To determine correctness of the below statement.

The rate of the reaction is always equal the rate of reactant(s) and/or rate of products in a given reaction.

Step 2

Rate of reactant or product is the rate at which the concentration of the reactant or product is changing with respect to time.

xAyB+zC

In a reaction, the rate of the reaction and rate of reactant/product are related as,

dRdt=-1xdAdt=1ydBdt=1zdCdt

Clearly from the equation, the rate of reaction can be equals to the rate of product only if coefficient y and z is 1. So, the given statement is not always true.

Thus, the given statement is false.
