(a)
Interpretation:
The effect of increasing the concentration of the reactant on the rate of the reaction is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
(b)
Interpretation:
The effect of increasing 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.
(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.
