Rates of Reaction
By: Spruha, Mahek, Deshna, Jeevika
What Is Rate Of Reaction
The speed at which a
chemical reaction proceeds.
It is often expressed in
terms of either the
concentration (amount per
unit volume) of a product
that is formed in a unit of
time or the concentration of
a reactant that is consumed
in a unit of time.
How to plot a Graph to calculate the
Rate of Reaction
To plot a graph to
calculate the rate of
reaction, you need to
select two variables, such
as time and concentration,
and plot them against
each other. The slope of
the line represents the
rate of reaction.

What is the relationship between the calculating rate of
reaction and the slope of the graph?
The rate of reaction is
directly proportional to the
slope of the graph. A
steeper slope indicates a
faster rate of reaction, while
a shallower slope indicates a
slower rate of reaction.
Why use graphs to calculate rates of
reaction?
Graphs are a useful tool for
calculating the rate of
reaction because they can
visually represent the
relationship between
variables such as time,
concentration, and rate.
