The change in the amount of reactants or products per unit time (normally per second).
1 of 15
Rate (when reactants are in solution)
The change in concentration per second.

What does the gradient on a concentration/time graph represent?
Rate
4 of 15
Rate Equation. What does m and n represent?
Rate=k[A]m[B]n m and n represents the order of reaction
5 of 15
Square Brackets?
Concentration of...
6 of 15
Rate Constant, factors effecting it
K, the bigger it is the faster the reaction, the higher the temperature the higher the value of K.
7 of 15
Order of reaction
Shows the number of molecules of that reactant that are involved in the rate-determining step.
8 of 15
Order= 0
[A] has no effect on the rate
9 of 15
Order= 1
The rate is proportional to [A] e.g. if [A] doubles so does the rate.
10 of 15
Order= 2
The rate is proportional to [A]2 e.g. if [A] doubles, the rate will be 4 times faster (2x2).
11 of 15
Initial Rate of Reaction
The rate right at the start of reaction.
12 of 15
How can you find the initial rate of reaction?
Using a concentration/time graph, draw a tangent to the curve when time= 0 and form a triangle. Gradient= change in y (verticle line)/change in x (horizontal line)
13 of 15
Rate-determining step
The step with the slowest rate
14 of 15
How do you know if a reactant affects the rate?
It will appear in the rate equation
