Rate of reaction
• Reaction rate is the change in the concentration
of a reactant or a product with time.
• Unit of rate (mol L-1 s-1 )
1
• rate ∝
Time
Example; A → B
time
[B] ↑
d[A]
rate = -

Rate of reaction
Solution:
1 d[HI] d[H 2 ] d[I 2 ]
Rate = − = =
2 dt dt dt
d[I 2 ]
= 1.8 × 10-6
dt
1 d[HI] d[I 2 ]
Rate = − =
2 dt dt
d[HI]
= 2 × 1.8 × 10-6 = 3.6 × 10-6 M s-1

EXERCISE 1:
Hydrogen gas produced nonpolluting product is
water vapour when react in O2 due to this reaction
has been used for fuel aboard the space shuttle,
and may be used by Earth-bound engines in the
near future.
