Lesson: Chapter 17 — Rate of Reaction

17. Measuring the rate 6 of 6

Question 6

A reaction forms a precipitate. Which is the most suitable way to measure its rate?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Timing how long the clouding solution takes to hide a mark placed underneath it. That is a measure of how fast the precipitate is forming.

Weighing once gives no change at all — a rate needs two readings. Neither the height of the beaker nor the names of the reactants alters as the reaction proceeds.

Answer the question to continue.
