Question

Which is true about reaction rates?

1. High reaction rates occur only in spontaneous reactions.

2. Low reaction rates occur only in nonspontaneous reactions.

3. Reaction rates are not dependent on high or low activation energies.

4. Reaction rates are not related to spontaneity.

ANSWER 4

Answer 1

the correct choice would be: 4. Reaction rates are not related to spontaneity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of reaction is independent of spontaneity, since it depends on other factors such as the amount of reagent.

The amount of reagent is one of the variables that most influences the speed of reaction, the greater the amount of reagent, the faster the reaction will be and thus the speed will be increased.
