Chapter 18, Problem 20E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The change in the reaction rate for the reaction $\text{A + B}\to \text{C}$, when concentration of $\text{A}$ increases without changing the concentration of B is to be predicted. If the concentration of $\text{B}$ is decreased without changing the concentration of A, then the effect on the rate of the reaction is to be stated. The explanation corresponding to both the answers is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The reaction rate in a chemical reaction depends on the temperature, catalyst and the concentration. The frequency of collision and proper orientation are the parameters which affects the rate of chemical reaction.
