Rate of Reaction: the change in concentration (of any of the To find the rate of change of a
reactants or products) with unit time. product/reactant at a particular insta
draw a tangent to the curve at that t
and draw a tangent to the curve and
find the gradient
A + 2B → C [C]
From this equation, we can see that for every A that reacts,
there are 2B so B concentration will decrease twice as fast
as A.
Usually, it is assumed that a rate is measured by following [C]
the concentration of a product, because the concentration
increases with time.
To find the initial rate of reaction,
draw a tangent to the line at time
= 0 and find the gradient
Rate = change in
concentration/time
