(A) The rate of reaction decreases as the concentration of reactant decreases because the frequency of effective collisions between reactant molecules reduces.
$(b)$ The rate of reaction generally decreases as the concentration of product increases,especially in reversible reactions,because the rate of the backward reaction increases,effectively reducing the net rate of the forward reaction.
