Rate of reaction

• Mean Rate of reaction= Quantity of product formed (cm^3) / time (s)

  or

  Mean Rate of reaction= Quantity of reactant used (g^3) / time (s)
• Rate of reaction= amount of reactant used/time taken to use it
• Rate of reaction is determined by the frequency of successful collisions between reactants and products.
• Factors affecting rate of reaction:

  • Enough Energy (Temperature)
  • Volume of container where particles are kept in
  • Correct Orientation (Helped by Catalysts)
  • Surface Area by breaking clumps of particles
• Speed of reaction= Rate of reaction
