the speed with which a chemical reaction takes place
1 of 13
Reaction time
the time it takes for a driver to step on the brake after seeing an obstacle
2 of 13
Gradient
rate of change of two quantities on a graph; change in y/change in x
3 of 13
Product
molecules produced at the end of a chemcial reaction
4 of 13
Reactant
chemicals which are reacting together in a chemical reaction
5 of 13
Concentration
the amount of chemical dissolved in a certain volume of solution
6 of 13
Limiting Reactant
the reactant not in excess that gets used up by the end of the reaction

Collision Theory
Different reactions can happen at different rates. Reactions that occur slowly have a low rate of reaction. Reactions that happen quickly have a high rate of reaction. For example, rusting is a slow reaction: it has a low rate of reaction.

Catalyst
1.a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change.

Relative atomic mass (Ar)
measure of the mass of one atom of the element
10 of 13
Relative formula mass (Mr)
you just add together the Ar values for all the atoms in its formula.
11 of 13
Percentage yield
comparing the actual yield with the predicted yield

Atom economy
measure of the amount of starting materials that become useful products
