Match the following graphical variation with their description

A B

(i)

(a) Variation in product concentration with time
(ii)

(b) Reaction at equilibrium

 

(iii) 

(c) Variation in reactant concentration with time

 

Answers (1)

(i) \rightarrow (c); (ii) \rightarrow (a); (iii) \rightarrow (b)

The variation of reactant concentration with time in a chemical reaction is as follows:

  • Reactant concentration decreases

    As the reaction proceeds, the number of reactant molecules decreases, which causes the concentration of the reactant to decrease. 

  • Reaction rate decreases

    As the concentration of reactants decreases, the reaction rate decreases. 

  • Product concentration increases

    As the reaction proceeds, the number of product molecules increases, which causes the concentration of the product to increase. 

  • Equilibrium

    When the concentration of the reactant and product become constant, equilibrium is established. This happens when the rates of the forward and backward reactions are equal.
