Question 2(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points) What happens to the rate of most reactions as the reaction progresses? The rate remai
ns constant over the course of the reaction. The rate decreases as the concentration of the reactants decreases. The rate increases as the concentration of the products increases. The rate change depends on the energy change of the reaction.
The rate decreases as the concentration of the reactants decreases
Explanation: -
A reaction involves change of the reactants into products.
Initially there is only reactants. So the rate if reaction is high.
After some time there are products. So the amount of reactant is less.
Reactions involve collisions of reactant molecules. As the reactant amount decreases, collisions between the reactants decreases. As such the rate of reaction decreases with the progress of the reaction.
The first molecule is a sensible molecule having complete octet of each atom such as C, H and O whereas the second molecule having hydrogen present between the aldehyde and methyl group and thus showing hydrogen is making bond with aldehyde and methyl as well which is not possible because hydrogen only having one electron in its octet due to which it can only form a single bond by sharing its valence electron.
This question is based in mole ratios. for every mole of cl2, 2 moles of NaCl will be produced. so half of the moles of NaCl gives the moles of Cl2 required. therefore divide 0.35 by 2
