Question:

Which of the following is true for the rate of a reaction?

Options:

It increases as the reaction proceeds

It decreases as the reaction proceeds

It remains the same till the reaction complete

It may increase or decrease as the reaction proceeds

Correct Answer:

It may increase or decrease as the reaction proceeds

Explanation:

The rate of reaction or speed of reaction for a reactant or product is defined as how fast or slow a reaction takes place. The rate of reaction decreases as the reaction proceeds because the concentration of reactants is high at the start and with time, this concentration decreases and the reaction gets slower. But it can increase also.
