Question 3

3 pts

(07.05 LC)

What happens to the rate of most reactions as the reaction progresses? (3 points)

The rate change depends on the energy change of the reaction.

The rate decreases as the concentration of the reactants decreases.

The rate increases as the concentration of the products increases.

The rate remains constant over the course of the reaction.

Answer:The rate decreases as the concentration of the reactants decreases.

Normally in a chemical reactions, reactants react with the product to form reactants. The continuous availability of the reactants ensure constant formation of the products, thus the reaction continues to progress.

However, after a period of time,of reaction progress, the rate of reaction drops.This is because, the concentration of reactants has been used up, and therefore more product is formed.Thus the concentration of both the reactants and product changes; and this slows down the rate of reaction as the concentration of the reactants drops.
