For the reaction A + B → 2C, which of the following best describes how we can measure the reaction rate?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction rate can be measured by measuring how fast C is produced because C is the product formed in the reaction. The rate of product formation is directly proportional to the reaction rate. Measuring the rate of formation of A or B would not provide information regarding the rate of the reaction because they are the reactants and their concentration gradually decreases as the reaction proceeds. Measuring the rate of consumption of C would provide the same information as measuring the rate of formation of C, but measuring the rate of formation of C is a more common method of measuring reaction rates.
