In general, what is the relationship between reaction rate and reactant concentration?
Interpretation:
To identify the relationship between reaction rate and reactant concentration.
Concept introduction:
Reaction rate is the change in the amount of products or reactants per unit time.
Answer to Problem 51A
Rate of a reaction increases on increasing reactant concentration.
Explanation of Solution
In a chemical reaction surface area, temperature catalyst or inhibitors, reactivity, concentrations of the substance affects rate of reaction.
Rate of a reaction increases on increasing reactant concentration. To form reaction products extra reacting ions or molecules are present. Rate of a reaction decreases on decreases reactant concentration. Reactant concentration affects rate of a reaction.
Reactant concentration affects rate of a reaction and relationship is not simple.
