9. When the [CO2] and [H2CO3] are both horizontal lines, the rate of the forward reaction is __________ the rate of the reverse reaction
a. faster than
b. slower than
c. the same as

10. If you added molecules of H2CO3 into the liquid, what do you think would happen?
a. Since this would increase the concentration of CO2, the forward reaction would be favored.
b. Since this would increase the concentration of CO2, the reverse reaction would be favored.
c. Since this would increase the concentration of H2CO3, the reverse reaction would be favored.
d. Since this would increase the concentration of H2CO3, the forward reaction would be favored.

Respuesta :

When the concentrations of CO2 and H2CO3 are both horizontal lines then the rate of the forward reaction is the same as the rate of the reverse reaction.

What is rate of reaction?

The term rate of reaction refers to how fast or slow a reaction proceeds. Recall that the rate  of reaction is measured from the rate of disappearance of reactants or the rate of appearance of products.

When the [CO2] and [H2CO3 ] are both horizontal lines, the rate of the forward reaction is the same as the rate of the reverse reaction.

Let us recall that the reaction is reversible hence addition of H2CO3  will increase the concentration of H2CO3, the reverse reaction would be favored.
