Consider the first-order decomposition of A molecules (red spheres) in three vessels of equal volume.
A) What are the relative rates of decomposition in vessels (1)-(3)?
B) What are the relative half-lives of the reactions in vessels (1)-(3)?
C) How will the rates be affected if the volume of each vessel is decreased by a factor of 2?
D) How will the half-lives be affected if the volume of each vessel is decreased by a factor of 2?
