Introduction to Rate of Reaction

4.1 Introduction to Rate of Reaction
 
Chemical reaction

A process in which one or more reactants are converted to one or more products

Chemical Reaction

 

 

The quantity of the reactant decreases while the quantity of the product increases in that reaction
Graphs of changes in quantities of reactant and product against time

 Similarities and differences between fast reaction and slow reaction
Reaction  Fast reaction  Slow reaction
Reactant Quantity decreases
Product Quantity increases
Rate of reaction Fast Slow
Reaction time Short Long
 
Rate of reaction

\(\frac {\text {Change in the quantity of reactant or product}}{ \text {Time taken for the change to occur}}\)
