Question
- what aspect of a chemical reaction may be defined as a change in concentration of the reactants or products over time?
Brief Explanations
The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the change in concentration of reactants or products over time. It measures how quickly a reaction proceeds. For example, if we have a reaction \(A + B
ightarrow C\), the rate could be calculated as \(\text{Rate}=\frac{\Delta[C]}{\Delta t}\) (where \(\Delta[C]\) is the change in concentration of product \(C\) and \(\Delta t\) is the change in time) or \(\text{Rate}=-\frac{\Delta[A]}{\Delta t}\) (the negative sign for reactants as their concentration decreases over time).
