AQA Rates of Reaction GCSE

Rates of Reaction

Reactants are turned into products during a chemical reaction. The faster this happens, the faster the rate of reaction.

•      Rate of reaction = amount of reactant used

                                                   time

•     Rate of reaction = amount of product formed 

                                                  time

The units of rate of reaction may be given as g/s or cm3 /s.

Chemical reactions can only occur when reacting particles collide with each other with sufficient energy. The minimum amount of energy that particles must have to react is called…
