How does the average reaction rate differ from an instantaneous reaction rate? a) The average reaction rate is how quickly the reaction proceeds at a specific time. An instantaneous reaction rate is how quickly the reaction proceeds over time.

b) The average reaction rate is how quickly the reaction proceeds over time considering the reactants. An instantaneous reaction rate is how quickly the reaction proceeds at a specific time considering the products.

c) The average reaction rate is how quickly the reaction proceeds over time. An instantaneous reaction rate is how quickly the reaction proceeds at a specific time.

d) The average reaction rate is how quickly the reaction proceeds over time. An instantaneous reaction rate is how quickly the reaction proceeds compared to another reaction.

1. The instantaneous rate is the rate of a reaction at any particular point in time, a period of time that is so short that the concentrations of reactants and products change by a negligible amount. The initial rate is the instantaneous rate of reaction as it starts (as product just begins to form).

Explanation:

average rate

rate of a chemical reaction computed as the ratio of a measured change in amount or concentration of substance to the time interval over which the change occurred

initial rate

instantaneous rate of a chemical reaction at t = 0 s (immediately after the reaction has begun)

instantaneous rate

rate of a chemical reaction at any instant in time, determined by the slope of the line tangential to a graph of concentration as a function of time

rate of reaction

measure of the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place

rate expression

mathematical representation relating reaction rate to changes in amount, concentration, or pressure of reactant or product species per unit time

Explanation:

c-14 is carbon-14, or radiocarbon.   it is a radioactive isotope of carbon with an atomic nucleus containing 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

i think its 5049.

i hope this !
