• Chemical Kinetics
  • Reaction rate
  • Determining reaction rates
  • Average rate of reaction
  • Instantaneous rate of reaction
  • Expressing reaction rates in terms of reactants of products
  • Methods for measuring rates of chemical reactions

  • A reaction rate is the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds
    • A reaction rate is measured by the change in the amount of reactants consumed or products formed over a given time interval
  • A reaction ate is always expressed as a positive value
  • The instantaneous rate of a reaction is the rate of the reaction oat a particular point in time
  • The average rate of a chemical reaction is the change in the concentration of reactant or product per unit time over a given time interval
  • Any measurable property that is related to a change in the amount of a reactant consumed or product formed during a chemical reaction can be used to determine the reaction rate
