how can we find the rate for a reaction where a specific amount of product forms?
through measuring the time taken for that amount of product to form.
what happens in an 'initial rate method'?
a series of experiments are conducted where the concentration of the reactant being investigated is the only concentration changed. The concentrations of the other reactants stays the same and any factors, like temperature, that could influence rate are kept constant also.
what are 'clock reactions'?
involve a sudden colour change occurring within the reaction mixture when a specific amount of product has been formed.
