Rate of reaction.
The rate of reactions depends on collisions between particles.
The collisions must have more energy than the activation energy for a reaction
to take place.
Temperature can change the proportion of molecules that exceed the Ea as can
the presence of a catalyst.
The rate of chemical reaction measures:
-How fast a reactant is being used up.
-How fast a product is being formed.
Rate of Reaction :- is the change in the concentration of a reactant or
product per unit time.
Change in conc. Of reactant or product
Rate =
Time for the change to take place
Moldm3
Units of rate =
S
= moldm3s1} concentration/time
at any instant of time, the rate is equal to the slope of the curve.
The slope is measured by drawing a tangent to the curve at this time.
The gradient, or slope, of the tangent is then calculated.
