RATE OF REACTION

1. The rate of reaction is defined as the change in amount of

reactant or product against time.
2. Rate of reaction is inversely proportional to time of reaction.
3. The shorter the time taken, the higher the rate of reaction.
4. Rate of reaction is divided into two :
 Fast reaction

 Slow reaction

5. Reaction between NaCl and Pb(NO3)2 is classified as fast

reaction whereas photosynthesis and rusting is classified as
slow reactions.
