Which of the following will affect the rate of a chemical reaction?
1)solvent concentration
2)solution volume
3)solute mass
4)solute concentration

Solute concentration will afect the rate of a chemical reaction, because you must work with molarity

Explanation:

I think that solute mass may be it can affect the rate of reaction, if you have more mass in a solute, you will also have more moles.

If you want to know more, you have to consider temperature in the reaction and the  presence of catalysts. They all, affect reactions.

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
