Question

In the graph below, why does the graph stop increasing after 30 seconds?

A. The hydrogen gas is absorbing heat to undergo a phase change.
B. A catalyst needs to be added to increase the amount of hydrogen produced.
C. No more hydrogen can be produced because all of the reactants have become products at this point.
D. It has reached the maximum amount of product it can make at this temperature. The temperature would need to increase to produce more.

Answer 1

The answer is "Option C".

Step-by-step explanation:

It's evident from the figure below that after thirty minutes, not no more hydrogen can be created because all of the reactants have converted into products.

hydrogen gas created in cm cubes per period x = 20 seconds, y = 45 centimeters squared, and so on.

A reaction's terminus (the graph's flat line) indicates that no further products are being created during the reaction.
