Question

5. What is the speed of reaction and how important is it to know it? (Bibliography)

Answer 1

The rate of reaction: It refers to the speed at which a reaction proceeds.
= Concentration of product formed per unit time
= Concentration of substrate utilized per unit time

Rate = dC/dt
Rate = +d[P]/dt
Rate = -d[S]/dt

Importance:

It tells us how much time is required for the reaction to complete depending upon the initial concentration of the reactants (Incubation time).
It also helps to determine the effect of other components that affect the reaction rate.
