Consider 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. Indicate everything that is correct in these statements, and indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect statements and explain.

4. You have two reactions that you wish to carry out. Each reaction only involves a single reactant compound. To do this you make two solutions each having an initial concentration of 0.20 M in the reactant. The first reaction is first order and proceeds with a rate constant of 2.0 s-1. The second reaction is second order in the reactant and proceeds with a rate constant of 4.0 M-1s-1. Calculate the initial rate for each reaction. Why does the rate constant with the larger numerical value lead to a slower rate?
a. Some of the reaction times that you measured in Flasks B-E were quite fast. Predict what would happen to the reaction rate* if you changed each these parameters, but did not change any other conditions: Increased the molar concentration of NaOH (aq) from 0.10 M to 0.30 M Increased the molar concentration of 2-Chloro-2-methylpropane from 0.10 to 0.30 M Decreased the molar concentration of NaOH (aq) from 0.10 M to 0.025 M Decreased the molar concentration of 2-Chloro-2-methylpropane from 0.10 to 0.025 M b.
