If CO₂ is being produced in the solution at a faster rate than H₂CO₃, then the rate of the forward reaction is faster.
What is the rate of a reaction?
Rate of any reaction tells about the duration of the completion of reaction to produce products.
Given chemical reaction is written as:
H₂CO₃ ⇄ CO₂ + H₂O
In the question it is given that CO₂ is produced at the faster rate, and it is the product of the forward reaction. So, we conclude that rate of forward reaction is faster.
Hence, the rate of forward reaction is faster.
