What is the effect of decrease in reactants concentration on protium concentration?
Correct answer: B. Increases products
- A. Decreases products
- B. Increases products
- C. Affects negligibly
- D. Improves reaction efficiency
Explanation
The effect of a decrease in reactants concentration on protium concentration increases the product concentration. The reason for this is that the concentration of protium is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants. If the concentration of the reactants decreases, the concentration of protium will also decrease. This will cause the reaction to slow down, and the amount of products produced will be lower.

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.
