What is the term used to describe the change in concentration of reactants or products over time?

  1. Reaction Rate

  2. Rate Constant

  3. Order of Reaction

  4. Activation Energy


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Reaction rate is the measure of the change in concentration of reactants or products per unit time.

The rate law for a chemical reaction is an equation that expresses the relationship between the:

  1. Reactant Concentrations

  2. Product Concentrations

  3. Temperature

  4. Activation Energy


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The rate law expresses the relationship between the reactant concentrations and the reaction rate.

The order of a reaction is determined by:

  1. The number of reactants

  2. The number of products

  3. The stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants

  4. The temperature


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The order of a reaction is determined by the stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants in the balanced chemical equation.

The rate constant of a reaction is:

  1. Independent of the reactant concentrations

  2. Dependent on the temperature

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The rate constant of a reaction is independent of the reactant concentrations but is dependent on the temperature.

The Arrhenius equation relates the:

  1. Reaction Rate

  2. Rate Constant

  3. Activation Energy

  4. Temperature


Correct Option:
Explanation:

The Arrhenius equation relates the rate constant of a reaction to the temperature.

Which of the following factors can affect the reaction rate?

  1. Temperature

  2. Concentration of Reactants

  3. Presence of a Catalyst

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Temperature, concentration of reactants, and the presence of a catalyst can all affect the reaction rate.

A catalyst is a substance that:

  1. Increases the activation energy of a reaction

  2. Decreases the activation energy of a reaction

  3. Changes the order of a reaction

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A catalyst decreases the activation energy of a reaction, making it proceed faster.

The half-life of a reaction is the time it takes for:

  1. The concentration of reactants to decrease by half

  2. The concentration of products to increase by half

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The half-life of a reaction is the time it takes for the concentration of reactants to decrease by half or the concentration of products to increase by half.

Which of the following is a common method for studying reaction rates?

  1. Spectrophotometry

  2. Gas Chromatography

  3. Mass Spectrometry

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Spectrophotometry, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry are all common methods for studying reaction rates.

The study of reaction rates and mechanisms is known as:

  1. Chemical Kinetics

  2. Thermodynamics

  3. Quantum Chemistry

  4. Electrochemistry


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Chemical kinetics is the study of reaction rates and mechanisms.

The rate of a reaction can be expressed in terms of:

  1. Concentration change per unit time

  2. Molarity change per unit time

  3. Partial pressure change per unit time

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The rate of a reaction can be expressed in terms of concentration change per unit time, molarity change per unit time, or partial pressure change per unit time.

The order of a reaction with respect to a particular reactant is:

  1. The exponent of the concentration of that reactant in the rate law

  2. The coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation

  3. The number of moles of that reactant consumed in the reaction

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The order of a reaction with respect to a particular reactant is the exponent of the concentration of that reactant in the rate law.

The overall order of a reaction is:

  1. The sum of the orders of the reaction with respect to each reactant

  2. The difference between the orders of the reaction with respect to each reactant

  3. The product of the orders of the reaction with respect to each reactant

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The overall order of a reaction is the sum of the orders of the reaction with respect to each reactant.

A zero-order reaction is a reaction in which:

  1. The rate is independent of the concentration of the reactants

  2. The rate is proportional to the concentration of the reactants

  3. The rate is inversely proportional to the concentration of the reactants

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A zero-order reaction is a reaction in which the rate is independent of the concentration of the reactants.

A first-order reaction is a reaction in which:

  1. The rate is proportional to the concentration of one of the reactants

  2. The rate is proportional to the square of the concentration of one of the reactants

  3. The rate is inversely proportional to the concentration of one of the reactants

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A first-order reaction is a reaction in which the rate is proportional to the concentration of one of the reactants.
