1. Rate of reaction is the speed at which reaction are converted into product in a chemical reaction
2. The rate of reaction is a measurement of the chage in the quantity of raectant or product against
time
V3 - V2 = V cm3
= 60 s
Marble chips react with dilute hydrochloric acid, HCl liberate carbon dioxide, CO2
Large marble chip react with dilute hydrochloric acid, HCl at a lower rate : when small
marble chip of the same mass are used, the liberation of carbon dioxide, become more
vigarous and faster
2. Concentration of reactant
The chemical equation for the raection between sodium thiosulphate, Na2S2O2 solution and
dilute sulphuric acid H2SO4
The formation og sulphur causes the solution to turn cloudy. As more sulphur is formed, the
solution becomes more cloudy until mark `X’ disappear sum sight when viewed vertically
from the top through the solution. Hence, the time taken for the mark `X’ to disappear from
sight is the time taken for formation of the same quantity of sulphur
3. Temperature of reactant
