Which statement best characterizes chemical reactions?

A
They always occur very quickly.
B
Their rates vary significantly.
C
Their rates are always slow.
D

6

Which statement correctly describes the actual yield and the theoretical yield of a reaction?

A
The actual yield is calculated from the amount of the limiting reactant, and the theoretical yield is calculated from the amount of the excess reactant.
B
The actual yield is calculated from the reactant amounts, but the theoretical yield must be measured for each instance of a reaction.
C
The actual yield depends on the reaction conditions, but the theoretical yield varies only with reactant amounts.
D
The actual yield represents the maximum yield possible, and the theoretical yield assumes perfect reaction conditions.

When two substances are mixed together, a color change is observed. Does this mean that a chemical reaction has definitely occurred?

A
No because some physical changes produce color changes.
B
Yes because any change indicates a chemical reaction.
C
Yes because color changes occur only when new compounds are formed.
D
No because color changes are not indicators of chemical reactions.
