6.1.1 Calculating rates of reaction

Question 1

Give 2 equations for mean rate of reaction

Answer 1

mean rate of reaction = quantity of reactant used / time taken

mean rate of reaction = quantity of product formed / time taken

Question 2

How can the quantity of a reactant or product be measured?

Answer 2

By mass - grams
By volume - cm³

Question 3

What are the units for rate of reaction (2 possibilities)

Answer 3

g/s or cm³/s

Question 4

How to measure rate of reaction at a specific point on a curve

Answer 4

Draw a tangent to the curve at that point and do change in y over change in x.
