Jump to navigation Jump to search

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
