Chemistry 2.5 Kinetics and rate

• The rate of reaction = The change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit time
• Rate is fastest at the start since each reactant has its greatest concentration
• Rate slows down as the reaction proceeds since the concentration of reactants decreases
• Rate becomes zero when the reaction stops IE. when one of the reactants has been used up

Measuring rates:-
1. Change in gas volume…
