This is because the reactants are being used up to make products. Unless you add more reactants to the solution, the rate at which products will be made will start to diminish until there is an equilibrium. At this point products will be converted to reactants and reactants will be converted to products and the equilibrium will not shift however the forward rxn and the reverse rxn will be occurring at the same rate

Why does the rate of forward reaction slow down when a reversible reactions approaches at state of equilibrium?

For a reversible reaction, the concentration of the products will be more as it approaches the equilibrium. So the rate of reverse reaction will increase and the rate of forward reaction will slow down.


Does increasing the surface area increase or decrease the rate of a chemical reaction?

It will increase the rate of the reaction because more particles will be exposed and they will be able to react.This decreases the time to react.


What will change when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction?

A catalyst speeds up the rate of reaction, and lower the activation energy needed.


What does lowering the temperature do to the rate of a reaction?

Decrease because particles will move slower causing less collisions.


Compare and contrast a catalyst and an inhibitor?

Catalysts increase the rate of reaction while Inhibitors decrease it. They both affect the rate of reaction, hence giving us more control over our reaction.


What effects does temperature have on reaction rate?

An increase in temperature speeds up the reaction rate.


What describes a reaction that reaches equilibrium?

The product and reactants reach a final, unchanging level.


The Haber process is typically carried out at a temperature of approximately 500rm circ C What would happen to the rate of the forward reaction if the temperature were lowered to 100rm circ C?

The reaction rate would decrease.

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.
