RATES OF REACTION
(Cambridge IGCSE CHEMISTRY 0620)

NOTE: Please look at the figures at the end!



 Rates of Reaction
 The rate of a reaction refers to the speed at which reactants are converted into
products.
 It is a measure of how quickly a chemical process occurs and can be expressed
as the change in concentration of reactants or products per unit time.
 Mathematically, it can be represented as:




 Factors Affecting the Rate of Reaction
 Several factors influence the rate at which chemical reactions proceed, including:

 SURFACE AREA OF SOLID REACTANTS:
 Increasing the surface area of a solid reactant increases the rate of reaction. This
is because more particles are exposed to the other reactant(s), leading to a higher
frequency of collisions.
 For example, powdered calcium carbonate reacts faster with hydrochloric acid
than larger chunks because the powder has a greater surface area.

 CONCENTRATION:
 Increasing the concentration of reactants in a solution generally increases the rate
of reaction.
 A higher concentration means more particles per unit volume, which leads to an
increased likelihood of collisions.
