Rates of reaction

• The rate of reaction can take decades to a fraction of a secon
• The faster the rate the faster the reactants will turn into products
• Rate of reaction= Quantity of reactants used / time taken
• Rate of reaction= Quantity of products formed / time taken
• Using the equations calculates the mean or average rate of reaction
• Reactions start really fast as there are lots of reactants to react together, but slow down as they progress.
• As we can see the reaction starts fast and begins to plateau (this a product produce graph, it will be the inverse for a reactant graph)

  
• the rates can be calculated in grams per second, moles per minute, cm^3 per second, and more. You use the same calculation for all.
• Iron can react with oxygen to form iron oxide. This is also known as rusting. This a very slow reaction.
• Combustion is a fast reaction
