What is the rate of the Chemical Reaction?
- The rate of a reaction is a measure of how quickly reactants change into products.
- An increase in temperature, generally increases the rate of the reaction.
- A catalyst is a substance that speed up the reaction without itself being used up.
Questions:
- Define the rate of the reaction.
- Define the catalyst.
- Does temperature play a role in chemical reactions? Justify.

2- Catalyst is a substance that causes or accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being affected
ReplyDelete3. Yes, the temperature plays a role in chemical reactions because as temperature increase, the rate of the reaction increase since temperature is considered a catalyst.
ReplyDelete1- Change in the concentration of a reactant or product per unit time.
ReplyDelete1- The rate of a chemical reaction depends on its reaction mechanism. It's the speed at which a reaction takes place.
