What do we mean by rate?
The rate of a reaction is the time
taken for a product to form, or
reactants to be used up





Q. What do you understand
by the term rate of reaction?
Rate = amount of product produced (reactants used up) / time taken
REVIEW
Measuring the rate at which
_______ are used up or ______ are
made are two ways of measuring the
______ of a chemical reaction. An
example of a reaction that happens
quickly is a ___________ . A
reaction that happens slowly is
__________ .

Q. How could you measure the rate of the
reaction? Include the units you would use?
The amount of hydrochloric acid used up
(cm
3
/min).
The amount of magnesium chloride produced
(g/min).
The amount of hydrogen product (cm
3
/min).
Measuring Rate
How could you measure the rate of
these reactions? Use your definition to
help you.
Measuring the decreasing mass of
a reaction
We can measure the
rate at which the
mass of a reaction
mixture changes if
the reaction gives off
a gas.
Measuring the increasing volume of
gas produced
If the reaction
produces a gas we
can measure the
volume of gas and
use that information
to find out the rate of
reaction.
Measuring the decreasing light
passing through a solution
Some reactions
produce an insoluble
precipitate. This
makes the solution
go cloudy and we can
therefore measure
the rate at which the
solid appears.
