➢ Effect of Concentration on rate of reaction
1. What are the units for expressing rate of a reaction?
2. What do you understand by rate of a reaction?
3. Why does reaction rate generally decrease during the course of a reaction?
4. What is instantaneous reaction rate?
5. Why is negative sign put while expressing reaction rate with respect to
reactants?
6. What is an elementary reaction?
7. Define specific rate constant.
8. What is difference between rate law and law of mass action?
9. For the reaction A + B→ products, rate law expression for rate = k[A][B] 2 . If
the volume of the vessel is reduced to 1/3 of its original volume, then what will
be the effect on the rate of reaction ? [27 times its initial rate]
