Questions and Answers

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
  • How is reaction rate defined?
