Introduction
The reaction rate is the change in concentration of the reactants or products per unit time. The
factors that influence the rate of reaction are temperature, pressure, catalyst, size of particles and
concentration of reactants.
The rate of a reaction can be studied by observing the change in the chemical or physical
properties of species involved in the reaction. The reaction rate is inversely proportional to the
time of the reaction faster. The faster reaction occurs, the shorter the time taken for the reaction
to complete.

1. Reaction rate is the change in concentration of the reactants or products per unit time.

−1
2. Unit of reaction rate is M 𝑠

3. State the factors affecting rate of reaction.

a) Concentration

b) Temperature

c) Catalyst

d) Particle size

4. Function of catalyst is increase the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being
consumed.

Relationship between concentration of reactant with time and rate of reaction.

Based on the graph:

(i) 𝑡
represents the rate of reaction.

(ii) [Na2S2O3] is inversely proportional to time.

(iii) [Na2S2O3] is directly proportional to rate of reaction.

(B) The effect of temperature on the reaction rate

1. An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of temperature on the

reaction rate. Complete TABLE 2

2. Graph 𝑡
against temperature is shown in Figure 2.

Relationship between concentration of reactant with time and rate of reaction.

Based on the graph:
1
(a) 𝑡
is directly proportional to temperature.

(b) Rate of reaction is directly proportional to temperature.

Precautions that must be taken during the experiment:

a) Stir the solution properly.

b) Observe the ‘X’ more from the top of the conical flask.
c) Ensure the stopwatch is properly functioning.

Conclusion
1)The reaction rate is directly proportional to the concentration of solution.
2) The reaction rate is directly proportional to the temperature.
3) The rate of reaction with a catalyst is faster than the rate of reaction without a catalyst
