Question 9 • Chemistry

Which statement best describes why rate laws are important?

Answer
A
to see how much heat energy a chemical reaction releases
B
to see if a chemical reaction can actually take place
C
to determine how fast a chemical reaction will take place
D
to determine what products are formed in a chemical reaction

Explanation

A rate law relates the concentrations of reactants to the reaction rate. It is used to determine how fast a chemical reaction will take place, rather than the heat released, whether it can occur, or which products form. Therefore, the best choice is “to determine how fast a chemical reaction will take place.”
