  4. Rate is inversely proportional to concentration

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of a first-order reaction?
  • Step 1: Understand what a first-order reaction is. It is a type of chemical reaction.
  • Step 2: Know that in a first-order reaction, the speed (rate) of the reaction depends on how much of the reactant is present.
  • Step 3: Remember that 'directly proportional' means if you increase the amount of reactant, the rate of the reaction increases in a predictable way.
  • Step 4: Conclude that the key characteristic of a first-order reaction is that its rate changes directly with the concentration of the reactant.
