Reaction rate tells you how fast reactants are converted to products
The rate can be worked out from the gradient of a graph - amount of reactant or product on y axis and time on x axis , reaction rate is the gradient of the graph.
Gradient = Change in Y / Change in X
The rate equation links reaction rate to reactant concentrations . For a general reaction A+B -> C + D the rate equation is;
Rate = K [A]m[B]n
m and n are the orders of reaction and k is the rate constant
Orders of reaction tell you how the reactant concentrations affect the rate.
m tells you how the concentration of reactant A affects the rate and n tells you the…
