What are the importance of knowing the reaction rates?

Open in App

Solution

We can calculate the rate constant, which can be compared under different conditions to quantify the effect on the rate from things like catalyst, solvent, heat, reactant ratio, etc
Theoretically, you use rate laws to help elucidate reaction mechanisms or rate constants to simulate reactions by computer modeling

Every chemical reaction has its own characteristic rate. It is affected by some important factors. The most important factors are 1 , temperature, 2 , 3 and surface area out of these factors rise/decrease in temperature, light quantity, rise in the concentration of reactants and surface area 4 the rate of reaction. Whereas as 5 alter the rate of reaction.
