QUESTION:
A reaction is carried out with water as the solvent. How does the addition of more water to the reaction vessel affect the rate of the reaction? Explain.
ANSWER:
Here we have to explain how does the addition of more water to the reaction vessel affects the rate of the reaction.
Step 1 of 2
The addition of more water to the reaction vessel will increase the dilution of solvent i.e extra amount of water added to the reaction vessel will dilute the concentrations of all solutes dissolved in the reaction and if any of these solutes are reactants, the rate of the reaction will decrease.
