(a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below.
The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion.
A balanced chemical reaction is necessary to relate the rate of reaction to the concentration of a reactant.
As a reaction progresses its rate goes down.
The rate of a slow step has more effect on the overall reaction rate than the rate of a fast step.
Reaction rates are determined by reactant concentrations, temperatures, and reactant stabilities.
Reaction rates increase with increasing temperature.
Reactions involving very unstable combinations of chemicals have large rate constants.

- Give at least two physical properties that might be used to determine the rate of a reaction.arrow_forwardConsider the following statements: In general, the rate of a chemical reaction increases a bit at first because it takes a while for the reaction to get warmed up. After that, however, the rate of the reaction decreases because its rate is dependent on the concentrations of the reactants, and these are decreasing.
