Question

(a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below.

The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion.


Reaction rates are determined by reactant concentrations, temperatures, and reactant stabilities.


Reaction rates decrease with increasing temperature.


A balanced chemical reaction is necessary to relate the rate of reaction to the concentration of a reactant.


The rate of a fast step has more effect on the overall reaction rate than the rate of a slow step.


Fast reactions can be slowed down by lowering the temperature.


Reactions involving very unstable combinations of chemicals have small rate constants.
