You have to decide to change the temperature at which you run a certain reaction in hope of obtaining more product more quickly. You find that you actually get less of the desired product, although you get to the equilibrium state more quickly. Explain what happened.
Question
Answer:
see explanation
Explanation:
The reaction has a negative rate law; i.e., Rate = – ΔConcentration / ΔTime which is graphically a negative slope for the plot of Rate as a function of reactant concentration. => Rate ∝ f(Reactant Concentration). However, by raising the temperature, an increase the probability of reaction occurs and the formation of more product.
