Consider the reaction: 2 C₂H₆(g)+ 7 O₂(g)→ 4 CO₂(g)+ 6 H₂O(g). Decreasing the concentration of C₂H₆(g)will decrease the reaction rate.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the law of mass action, the rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants. Decreasing the concentration of a reactant will therefore decrease the reaction rate.
