Why does the rate of any reaction generally decreases during the course of the reaction?

Open in App

Solution

The rate of a reaction depends on the concentration of the reactants. As the reaction proceeds in the forward direction, the concentration of reactant decreases and that of products increases. So, the rate of reaction generally decreases during the course of the reaction.
