Rate of reaction measures

How fast reactants used up or products formed

Why rates of reaction important

Show efficiency; useful in industrial processes

Mean rate formula (using reactants)

rac{ ext{Amount of reactant used}}{ ext{Time taken}}

Mean rate formula (using products)

rac{ ext{Amount of product formed}}{ ext{Time taken}}

Higher rate means

Faster reaction

Lower rate means

Slower reaction

Units for amount in reactions

Grams (gg) or cubic centimetres (cm3cm^3)

Unit for time in rate calculations

Seconds (ss)

Units for rate of reaction

g/sg/s or cm3/scm^3/s

Calculate rate: 0.120.12 gg Mg consumed in 4545 ss

0.12div45=0.002670.12 div 45 = 0.00267 g/sg/s
