As reaction starts instantaneous rate is :

Correct answer: A. Higher than average rate

  • A. Higher than average rate
  • B. Lower than average rate
  • C. Equal than average rate
  • D. None of these

Explanation

At the beginning of the reaction, there are typically more reactant molecules available, and they are more likely to collide with each other, leading to a higher frequency of effective collisions. This increased collision frequency results in a higher instantaneous rate of reaction compared to the average rate of reaction.

About Reaction Kinetics

Reaction kinetics relates reaction rate to concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts. Questions cover rate laws, reaction order, rate constants, activation energy and the activated complex, including how a catalyst lowers the activation energy without changing the overall energy change or equilibrium position.
