Reaction Rates

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

Reaction rate is the speed at which reactants are converted into products. Factors affecting rates include concentration, temperature, surface area, catalysts, and the nature of reactants. The rate can be expressed as the change in concentration of a reactant or product over time (e.g., Δ[A]/Δt). Studying reaction rates (kinetics) helps predict how fast a reaction occurs and how conditions can be optimized for industrial or lab processes.
