pH dependency

[Donovan McGraw 2C]

How do you tell if the reaction rate pH dependent?

A reaction rate is pH dependent when a gain or loss of an electron is required for the reaction to continue to the next step.

To determine if a reaction rate is pH-dependent, you can conduct experiments by varying the pH of the reaction mixture and measuring the rate of reaction at each pH level. If the reaction rate changes significantly with changes in pH, it indicates that the reaction's rate is indeed pH-dependent, reflecting the importance of proton concentration on the reaction mechanism.

To see if a reaction rate is pH dependent, adjust the pH of the reaction environment and note any variations in the rate of the reaction. If the reaction rate changes significantly when the pH changes, it means the reaction is pH dependant.

To tell if a reaction is pH dependent you could conduct experiments where you vary the pH. If doing this changes the reaction rate, then you know its pH dependent.
