Chemical reaction rate

Chemical reaction rate refers to how quickly a chemical reaction occurs, or how fast the reactants turn into products. It depends on factors like the concentration of reactants, temperature, and presence of catalysts. Higher concentration or temperature generally speeds up the reaction, while catalysts can lower the energy needed for the reaction to proceed. The rate is often measured by the change in concentration of reactants or products over time. Understanding reaction rates helps in controlling processes in industries like manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and energy production, ensuring reactions happen efficiently and safely.
