Astudent sets up two reactions. reaction 1 uses 0.290 mol/l of reactant, and reaction 2 uses 0.470 mol/l of reactant. how many times faster is reaction 2 compared to reaction 1?
express your answer as a multiple of the rate for reaction 1 to three significant figures. note that reaction 1 is already written for you, so just enter the number.

Reaction 2 will be 1.621 times faster than reaction 1

Explanation:

As the reaction 2 is taking 0.470 mol /L and reaction 1 is taking 0.290 mol /L, then the ratio of the rate of reaction will be

Asked reaction 2 how much faster than reaction 1, so rearrange the above equation, we get,            

Thus, 1.621 times reaction 2 is faster than reaction 1 as per the given question. As the reaction 2 is using more amount of reactants compared to reaction 1, the reaction 2 will be 1.6207 times faster than reaction 1.
