The rate of a reaction is the change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit:

Answer: time.

  • A volume
  • B time
  • C mass
  • D pressure

Correct answer: B. time

Explanation: Rate = change in concentration ÷ time, with units such as mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹.

First-Order Decay: Constant Half-Lifetime[A][A]₀[A]₀/22 × t½[A]₀/4Each successive half-life takes the SAME amount of time, regardless of starting concentration

First-order decay curve: concentration halves every t½, and that half-life is constant - a defining test for first-order kinetics.

Concept context

Study the speed of reactions and what affects it: concentration, temperature, and catalysts. Covers rate law, order of reaction, the Arrhenius equation, and reaction mechanisms step by step.
