Concentrations of Reactants
Often the rate of reaction increases when the
concentration of a reactant is increased. In some
reactions, however, the rate is unaffected by the
concentration of a particular reactant, as long as Concentration of Catalyst
it is present at some concentration. Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, decomposes rapidly in
the presence of HBr, giving oxygen and water.
Some of the HBr is oxidized to give the orange
Br2, as can be seen above.
