A start of reaction, concentration of reactants are on

Correct answer: A. Higher side

  • A. Higher side
  • B. Lower side
  • C. Optimum side
  • D. Constant

Explanation

At the start of a reaction, the concentration of reactants is on the higher side. This is because, initially, the reaction has just begun, and the reactants are present in higher concentrations before they start getting consumed and converted into products. As the reaction proceeds, the concentrations of reactants gradually decrease, and the concentrations of products increase.For a generic reaction:Reactant→ProductAt the start of the reaction, the reactant concentration is higher, and as the reaction progresses, the concentration of the reactant decreases while the concentration of the product increases.

About Acids, Bases and Salts

Acid and base behaviour is explained through the Bronsted-Lowry transfer of protons and the Lewis donation or acceptance of electron pairs. The topic includes pH, pOH, ionisation and water equilibrium, plus salt formation and hydrolysis, where a salt solution may become acidic, basic or neutral.
