Question

Predict how decreasing the volume of the container used for the reaction below would affect the initial rate of the reaction, and explain your prediction.. . H2 (g) + I2 (g)arrow 2 HI

Answer 1

 decreasing the volume will  decreasing the space for the movement of the molecules. so more collisions between molecules, and so more collisions between the right molecules (that is h2 and I2), so the initial rate of product formation definitely increases.
