How is the rate of reaction calculated?


Open in App
Solution

The calculation for the rate of reaction:

  • The rate of reaction is calculated by determining the amount of reactant or product formed per unit time.
  • The rate is determined in terms of concentration. For a reactionA→2B, with the passage of time, the concentration of product is increasing while the concertation of reactant is decreasing. The negative sign in reactant indicates the concentration is decreasing with time.

RateofproductB=concentration/time=Δ[B]/ΔtRateofreactiantA=concentration/time=-Δ[A]/Δt
