Question

WHY DIFFERENT REACTIONS PROCEED WITH DIFFERENT RATES??

Solution

Reactions involve breaking of bonds of reacting species and forming of new bonds to give products.This process requires or releases energy. Since, different amounts of energies are involved in breaking and forming of different bonds, different reactions proceed with different speeds.
