Rates of Reaction Flashcards
1
Q
rate of reaction
A
Amount of product formed over time
how fast reactants turn into products
2
Q
Why do granules react faster than ribbons
A
They are smaller and it takes less time to react as it has more surface area exposed allowing reactions to happen faster
3
Q
Why is rate of reaction normally highest at start of reaction
A
Because there is the highest concentration of reactants
4
Q
Method of monitoring rates of reaction
A
measuring:
changes in mass
volume of reactants and products
5
Q
equation for rates of reaction
A
amount of reactant used or product formed / time
