Lesson 3 Rate of Reaction
1. Fixed shape
2. Move around each other
3. Can be compressed
4. Particles are far apart
5. Flows easily
6. Arranged randomly
7. Takes the shape of the container
8. Move quickly in all directions
9. Vibrate in fixed position
What happens if these particles
collide (bump into each other)?

= 0.1g/s
How can we work out the rate of the
reaction?
The units can be g or kg
• Time And minutes, hours or even days!
• Change in product or reactant
= 60 g
10 s
= 6 g/s
How can we work out the rate of the
reaction?
The units can be g or kg
• Time And minutes, hours or even days!
• Change in product or reactant
= 0.25 g/s
Task 4: Complete the calculations
1) In a reaction the mass of a reactant decreases by 58 g in 233 seconds. What is the rate?
58 / 233 = 0.25 g/s
2) In a reaction the mass of a reactant decreases by 0.43g in 80 seconds. What is the rate?
0.43 / 80 = 0.0054 g/s
3) In a reaction the mass of a product increases by 3g in 210 seconds. What is the rate?
3 / 210 = 0.014 g/s
4) In a reaction the mass of a reactant changes from 43g at the start to 22g at the end.
