Question

As pressure increases, the rate of reaction

• A. increases
• B. decreases
• C. increases and then decreases
• D. stays the same

Answer 1

The correct option is A increases

Pressure is one of the factors which affects the rate of the reactions. On increasing the pressure of the gases the molecules come closer which further increases the number of molecules per unit volume. The number of collision of molecules increases which increase the rate of the reaction.
