Chemistry: Reaction Rates

Play an AI-generated podcast conversation about this lesson

What units are commonly used to express reaction rates?

mol/L

g/L

L/mole

M/s, M/min, or M/h (correct)

How do chemists typically measure reaction rates?

By performing theoretical calculations only

By guessing the concentration changes

By initiating the reaction, measuring reactant/product concentration, and calculating change over time (correct)

By using unrelated measurements

What is the general trend observed in the concentration of A and B during a chemical reaction?

Concentration of A increases, while concentration of B decreases

Concentration of A and B remain constant

Concentration of A decreases, while concentration of B increases (correct)

Concentration of A and B fluctuate randomly
