Lesson: Chapter 17 — Rate of Reaction

17.1. Concentration and pressure 4 of 5

Question 4

What does for gaseous reactants the job that concentration does for a solution?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Pressure. In reactions involving gaseous reactants, the rate of reaction can be increased by increasing the pressure.

The argument is the same one: raising the pressure squeezes the same number of particles into a smaller volume, which is to say more particles in unit volume.
