Effect of concentration on the rate of reaction:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. When the concentration<\/strong> of a reactant increases,<\/strong> the rate<\/strong> of reaction also increases.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. (a) For example, two sets of experiments are carried out using the reacting conditions below:
    \nSet I:<\/strong> 1 g of zinc powder and 20 cm3<\/sup> of 0.4 mol dm–<\/sup>3<\/sup> hydrochloric acid at room temperature.
    \nSet II:<\/strong> 1 g of zinc powder and 20 cm3<\/sup> of 2 mol dm–<\/sup>3<\/sup> hydrochloric acid at room temperature.
    \n(b) The rate of reaction of set I is higher<\/strong> than that of set II.
    \n(c) This is because the concentration<\/strong> of hydrochloric acid used in set I is higher<\/strong> than that in set II.<\/li>\n
  3. When investigating experimentally the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction,\n
