Chapter 19“Reaction Rates and Equilibrium” Section 19.1 Rates of Reaction OBJECTIVES Describe how to express the rate of a chemical reaction. Section 19.1 Rates of Reaction OBJECTIVES Identify four factors that influence the rate of a chemical reaction. Collision Theory Reactions can occur: Very fast – such as a firecracker Very slow – such as the time it took for dead plants to make coal A “rate” is a measure of the speed of any change that occurs within an interval of time In chemistry, reaction rate is expressed as the amount of reactant changing per unit time Collision Model Collision Mod
