∙ 12y agoThe rate decreases as reactants are used up.

∙ 11y agoIf this reaction has an equilibrium, by increasing the concentration of the reactants, the forwards reaction will be favoured and more products will be made.
Otherwise, by increasing the concentration, you will decrease the reaction time i.e. faster reaction rate.

Is it true that a low concentration of a chemical slows reaction rate?
I would point your studies towards collision theory. It's not that a low concentration necessarily slows down a reaction, but that a low concentration will have a slower reaction rate than a higher concentration of reactants. A lower concentration means a lower number of reactants in solution, meaning it is less likely for the reactants to collide and create products. With a lot of reactants, it is much more likely for collisions to occur.
When Increasing the concentration and increasing the temp both increase the reaction rates based on which physical phenomenon?
The kinetic energy of the reactants. By increasing the concentration, there are more reactant particles available for the reaction, and increasing the temperature increases the kinetic energy so the reactants come in contact more often, and the reaction rate increases.
Decreasing the temperature of a reaction decreases?
According to collision theory, decreasing the concentration of the reactants in a chemical reaction decreases the frequency of the collisions between reactants, and therefore decreases the rate of the reaction.
What is the relationship between surface area and rate of reaction?
The increase in surface area of reactants increases the contact between reacting molecules, atoms or ions so the rate of reaction becomes increased.
What are two of the four factors that can influence the rate of a reaction?
The concentration of the substances that react is one. The temperature is another.
What effect does the concentration of reactants have on the the rate of a reaction?
The effect of concentration of reactants on rate of reaction depends on the ORDER of the reaction. For many reactions, as the concentration of reactants increases, the rate of reaction increases. There are exceptions however, for example a zero order reaction where the rate of reaction does not change with a change in the concentration of a reactant.
What is rate dependence on concentration of reactants?
The reaction rate increase with reactants concentration.
What effect does the concentration of reactants have on the rate of speed?
The effect of concentration of reactants on rate of reaction depends on the ORDER of the reaction. For many reactions, as the concentration of reactants increases, the rate of reaction increases. There are exceptions however, for example a zero order reaction where the rate of reaction does not change with a change in the concentration of a reactant.

How does concentration affect the rate of a chemical reaction?
Increasing the concentration of the reactants increases the rate of the reaction.
What is the effect varying the concentration on the rate of reaction time?
Increasing the concentration of the reactants the rate of reaction increase.

What does the rate law tell you about the reaction?
How the concentration of the reactants affects the rate of a reaction
What factor in reaction rate is related to the amount of reactants?
This is the concentration of reactants.
How are the concentration of the reactants and reaction rate related?
rate laws a+the higher the concentration = more particles = higher chance of a collision happening = higher/faster reaction rate
