With regard to reversible chemical reaction rates,which of the following statements is true?
A)Decreasing the concentration of the reactants will increase the forward reaction rate.
B)Increasing the temperature will increase the forward and reverse reaction rate.
C)Increasing the activation energy will increase the forward reaction rate.
D)Increasing the concentration of the products will increase the forward reaction rate.
E)As a reaction progresses,the rate of the forward reaction increases as the concentration of reactants decreases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules, causing them to move faster and collide more frequently, leading to an increase in the forward and reverse reaction rates. Decreasing the concentration of the reactants (A) and increasing the concentration of the products (D) will shift the equilibrium towards the direction of the reactants, leading to a decrease in the forward reaction rate. Increasing the activation energy (C) will decrease the forward reaction rate, as it will require more energy to initiate the reaction. As a reaction progresses, the rate of the forward reaction decreases as the concentration of reactants decreases (E).
