A reaction rate is the rate of change of a component in a chemical reaction.[1] The most useful way to express a reaction rate is typically with respect to the disappearance of the limiting reactant:
- <math>-r_A=\frac{dC_a}{dt}</math>
where
- -rA is the reaction rate of species A
- CA is the concentration of species A
- t is time
