What is the relationship between the rate of a reaction and the concentration of reactants in a first-order reaction?
  1. Rate is proportional to the square of the concentration
  2. Rate is inversely proportional to the concentration
  3. Rate is directly proportional to the concentration
  4. Rate is independent of the concentration

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the relationship between the rate of a reaction and the concentration of reactants in a first-order reaction?
  • Step 1: Understand what a first-order reaction is. In a first-order reaction, the rate of the reaction depends on the concentration of one reactant.
  • Step 2: Know that 'rate' refers to how fast the reaction occurs.
  • Step 3: Learn that 'concentration' means how much of the reactant is present in a certain volume.
  • Step 4: In a first-order reaction, if you increase the concentration of the reactant, the rate of the reaction increases.
  • Step 5: This means that the rate is directly proportional to the concentration. If you double the concentration, the rate also doubles.
