Rates of Reaction Flashcards
1
Q
What is the rate of reaction?
A
The speed at which reactants get turned into products.
2
Q
Give an example of a slow reaction, a typical reaction and a fast reaction
A
Slow - Rusting (Iron oxidisation)
Typical - Magnesium and acid
Fast - Fireworks
3
Q
What are two ways to measure the rate of reaction?
A
How fast the reactants are used up.
How fast the products are formed.
4
Q
What two equations can be used to measure the rate of a reaction.
A
Rate of reaction = quantity of reactant (cm³)(g)(mol) / Time taken (s)(min)
Rate of reaction = quantity of product formed (cm³)(g)(mol) / Time taken (s)(min)
