Speed of reactions

How fast a reaction goes is called the rate of reaction. We can measure this by timing how quickly products are made. We can also time how quickly reactants are used up. The quicker these things happen, the faster the rate of the reaction.

Reactions happen when reactant particles collide. Changing the conditions makes them go faster.
