Astudent sets up two reactions. reaction 1 uses 0.240 mol/l of reactant, and reaction 2 uses 0.560 mol/l of reactant. how many times faster is reaction 2 compared to reaction 1?

Reaction 2 is 2.333 times faster than reaction 1.

Explanation:

The reaction rate is measured considering the concentration of reactant used or product made and the time interval. This can be expressed in the following equation:

Therefore, the higher the concentration of reactant used, the faster the reaction will be. If we consider that both Reaction 1 and Reaction 2 happen during the same time interval (Δt), we can express their rates:

Dividing R2 per R1:

Thus, Reaction 2 is 2.333 times faster than Reaction 1.
