Which of these does NOT normally affect the rate of a reaction?

Answer: colour of the flask.

  • A reaction temperature
  • B presence of a catalyst
  • C reactant concentration
  • D colour of the flask

Correct answer: D. colour of the flask

Explanation: Temperature, catalyst and concentration affect rate; the colour of the container does not.

First-Order Decay: Constant Half-Lifetime[A][A]₀[A]₀/22 × t½[A]₀/4Each successive half-life takes the SAME amount of time, regardless of starting concentration

First-order decay curve: concentration halves every t½, and that half-life is constant - a defining test for first-order kinetics.

Concept context

Study the speed of reactions and what affects it: concentration, temperature, and catalysts. Covers rate law, order of reaction, the Arrhenius equation, and reaction mechanisms step by step.
