One of the following questions is false the rest are true. Please identify the false statement in the enumeration below.
1. The physical state of a reactant can influence the rate of reaction.
2. The minimum energy with which reactant molecules must collide is called the activation energy.
3. The average rate of reaction is the change in concentration of the reactants or products at a given instant.
4. If the reaction order for a reactant is zero, altering the concentration of that reactant does not effect the reaction rate.
5. None of the above

Answer:

3. The average rate of reaction is the change in concentration of the reactants or products at a given instant.

Explanation:

The average rate of reaction is the change in concentration of the reactants or products over the course of the reaction. Not at a given instant, that would be the instantaneous rate of the reaction. An average is taken over the course of the duration of the entire reaction. So 3 is the incorrect statement.
