Effect of Concentration on Reaction Rate

Easy General Chemistry Chemical Kinetics

In general chemistry, the rate of a chemical reaction is influenced by various factors. A classic example is the reaction between hydrogen and iodine gases to form hydrogen iodide. If we increase the concentration of either hydrogen or iodine, how does this action affect the rate of the reaction?

Consider the law of mass action as well as how concentration relates to reaction kinetics. Select the best explanation for the observed phenomenon regarding reaction rate.
