is the change of concentration of a reactant or a product per unit time(seconds / minutes).
= rate of increase of the concentration or amount of the product /
= rate
of decrease of the concentration or amount of the reactant.
is the change in concentration of a substance (reactant or product) over a fixedtime interval.
is the rate of the reaction at a specific time (the steeper the slope, the higher the instantaneous
rate).
, the rate is zero / reaction has stopped.
