Questions and Answers

What does chemical kinetics deal with?

  • The temperature of reactions
  • The speed of chemical reactions (correct)
  • The color change during reactions
  • The volume of reactants used

How is the rate of a chemical reaction defined?

  • By the color change of the reactants
  • By the time it takes for the reaction to start
  • By the change in concentration of reactants or products per unit time (correct)
  • By the amount of reactants used

What happens to the concentration of reactants as a chemical reaction proceeds?

  • Remains constant
  • Decreases (correct)
  • Fluctuates randomly
  • Increases
