The nature of the reactants is a factor affect rate because:
a) some molecules are not symmetrical
b) some molecules have higher energy bonds
c) dissolved ions tend to have a faster rate of reaction
d) dissolved ions tend to attract each other
e) all of the above may affect the rate
3 answers
e) all of the above may affect the rate.
is e) the correct answer?
Yes, e) all of the above may affect the rate is the correct answer. The nature of the reactants can encompass various factors, such as molecular symmetry, energy of bonds, presence of dissolved ions, and attraction between dissolved ions. Each of these factors can influence the rate of a chemical reaction.
