Chemical Kinetics

The overall rate of a reaction is governed by

• the rate of fastest intermediate step

• the sum total of the rates of all intermediate steps

• the average of the rates of all the intermediate steps

• the rate of slowest intermediate step

A possible rate law for a third overall order of a reaction is __________________

• Rate = k [A]²[B]²

• Rate = k [A][B]³

• Rate = k [A]³ [B]

• Rate = k [A]²[B]

Imagine Jackson is conducting a chemical experiment in his lab. He decides to increase the concentration of a reactant. What happens to the equilibrium position of the reaction?

• It shifts towards the products.

• It shifts towards the reactants.

• It remains unchanged.

• The reaction stops.

Answer explanation

When the concentration of a reactant is increased, the equilibrium position shifts towards the products, according to Le Chatelier's Principle.
