    Study Notes

    Rate of Reaction

    Definition:

    • The rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction occurs.
    • It is a measure of how quickly the reactants are converted into products.

    Factors Affecting Rate of Reaction:

    • Concentration: Increasing the concentration of reactants increases the rate of reaction.
    • Temperature: Increasing the temperature increases the rate of reaction.
    • Surface Area: Increasing the surface area of reactants increases the rate of reaction.
    • Catalysts: Adding a catalyst can increase the rate of reaction.
    • Pressure: Increasing the pressure can increase the rate of reaction.

    Measuring Rate of Reaction:

    • Initial Rate: The rate of reaction at the beginning of the reaction.
    • Average Rate: The rate of reaction over a given time period.
    • Instantaneous Rate: The rate of reaction at a specific point in time.

    Expressing Rate of Reaction:

    • Rate Equation: An equation that describes the rate of reaction in terms of the concentrations of reactants and products.
    • Rate Constant (k): A constant that represents the rate of reaction.

    Examples of Rate of Reaction:

    • Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions: Enzymes increase the rate of biological reactions.
    • Combustion Reactions: Increasing the temperature and oxygen concentration increases the rate of combustion reactions.
    • Photolysis Reactions: Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photolysis reactions.
