Question
- The factors affecting the rate of homogeneous reaction are ____a) Temperature onlyb) Pressure onlyc) Reactant Concentration onlyd) Temperature, pressure and reactant concentration
Solution
The factors affecting the rate of a homogeneous reaction are d) Temperature, pressure, and reactant concentration.
Here's why:
a) Temperature: The rate of a reaction generally increases with temperature, as the reactant molecules have more kinetic energy, collide more often and with greater energy.
b) Pressure: In gaseous reactions, increasing the pressure means more molecules are squeezed into the same space, leading to an increase in the frequency of collisions and thus the reaction rate.
c) Reactant Concentration: The higher the concentration of reactants, the greater the chance of collisions between reactant molecules and hence the higher the reaction rate.
So, all three factors - temperature, pressure, and reactant concentration - can affect the rate of a homogeneous reaction.
