1. • Average rate of reaction
• Rate of reaction at a specific time/
instantaneous rate of reaction
2. Average rate of reaction
Average rate of reaction = change in amount of reactant/product
Time taken for the change to happen
Example:
Overall rate of reaction
Average rate of reaction in the first minute
Average rate of reaction in the first two minutes
Average rate of reaction in the second minutes
3. Rate of reaction at any given time
Determined by
Drawing a tangent to the curve at the given time
Finding the gradient of the tangent
