Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants raised to their respective powers. This statement defines which of the following? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand that a chemical reaction involves reactants that change into products.
  • Step 2: Know that the rate of a reaction is how fast the reactants turn into products.
  • Step 3: Learn that the rate of a reaction can depend on the concentrations of the reactants.
  • Step 4: Recognize that 'directly proportional' means if you increase the concentration of a reactant, the rate of the reaction increases.
  • Step 5: Understand that the phrase 'raised to their respective powers' means that each reactant's concentration is multiplied by itself a certain number of times, which is determined by the reaction.
  • Step 6: Combine these ideas to see that the statement describes a mathematical relationship that shows how the rate of a reaction depends on the concentrations of the reactants.
  • Step 7: Conclude that this mathematical relationship is known as the 'rate law' of a reaction.
