The instantaneous rate of reaction:

1. The rate of a reaction at a specified or


particular point of time.
2. It occurs within a short span of time.
3. Instantaneous Rate of change:

Instantaneous Rate = dxdt=dPdT


The average rate of a reaction:
1. The rate of change of concentration of
substances for a definite interval of time.
2. It occurs during a large span of time.
3. Average Rate of Change :

Average rate = −ΔAΔt=A2−A1T2−T1.


2 What is the Rate Law?
The rate law (also known as the rate
equation) for a chemical reaction is an
expression that provides a relationship
between the rate of the reaction and the
concentrations of the reactants participating
in it.

aA + bB → cC + dD

3 Rate constant:
 The constant which defines the
relationship between the molar
concentration of the reactants and the
rate of the chemical reaction is known as
the rate constant.
 The rate constant is symbolized as k.
4 The Order of reaction refers to the
relationship between the rate of a chemical
reaction and the concentration of the species
taking part in it. In order to obtain the
reaction order, the rate expression (or the
rate equation) of the reaction in question
must be obtained.

6 Molecularity of a reaction:
 The molecularity of a reaction is defined
as the number of reacting molecules that
collide simultaneously to bring about a
chemical reaction.
 In other words, the molecularity of an
elementary reaction is defined as the
number of reactant molecules taking part
in the reaction.
 The Molecularity of a reaction is a
theoretical concept.
 The Molecularity of a reaction can never
be zero.
7 Order of a reaction is the sum of the
coefficients of the reacting species involved
in the rate equation. Molecularity is the
number of reacting species involved in
simultaneous collisions in an elementary or
simplest reaction. Order is an experimentally
determined quantity

8The rate determining step is the slowest


step of a chemical reaction that determines
the speed (rate) at which the overall reaction
proceeds.
