The change in concentration of reactants or products over time.
2
Q
How can rate of reaction be measured?
A
A continuous monitoring method e.g. measuring the volume of gas released in a reaction over time
3
Q
What’s an initial rates method?
A
The method involves measuring the initial rate of reaction for multiple different concentrations to observe how rate of reaction varies.
4
Q
How do you prevent gas escaping ?
A
Place the solid reactant upright inside a sample tube in the conical flask, tipping the tube over by moving the conical flask around to start the reaction.
