Measuring Rates of Reaction Flashcards
What is the formula for measuring rates of reactions?
rate = amount of reactant used or amount of product

time
How can precipitation be used to measure the rate of reaction?
It clouds the solution, so the quicker the solution is no longer clear fully is the reaction time. It is subjective as people may disagree about the cloudiness.
How is a change in mass used to measure reaction rate?
A gas is released so the weight changes, it is the most accurate method.
How is the volume of gas given off used?
The more gas given off in a certain time interval means there is a faster reaction, this method is quite accurate.
