Introduction to Rate of Reaction (1)

Chemical reaction

A process in which reactants are converted to products

General equation of chemical reaction

Changes in quantity of reactant against time

Changes in quantity of product against time

Similarity between fast reaction & slow reaction

Quantity of reactant decreases

Similarity of fast reaction & slow reaction

Quantity of product increases

Difference of rate of reaction

Fast reaction: High Slow reaction: Low

Difference of reaction time

Fast reaction: Shorter Slow reaction: Longer

Rate of reaction

Change in the quantity of reactant or product per unit time

Measurement of rate of reaction

Average rate of reaction/ Instantaneous rate of reaction
