Reaction Rate Measurement Explained

The document discusses the rate of chemical reactions and how important it is to understand the rate for industrial processes. It defines rate as a measure of the change that occurs in a single unit of time. An example is given of zinc reacting with dilute sulfuric acid, where the zinc disappears slowly and a gas is produced. To find the rate of a reaction, you measure the amount of reactants or products over time.

Rate (speed) of reaction

1. Some reactions are fast and some are slow. In factories where they make
products from chemicals, they need to know exactly how fast a reaction is
going, and how long it will take to complete.

3. Rate is a measure of the change that happens in a single unit of time.

• When zinc is added to dilute sulfuric acid, they react together. The zinc disappears
slowly, and a gas bubbles off.
