Reaction rate, in chemistry, the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds. It is often expressed in terms of either the concentration (amount per unit volume) of a product that is formed in a unit of time or the concentration of a reactant that is consumed in a unit of time.

There are five general properties that can affect the rate of a reaction:


  • The concentration of the reactants. The more concentrated the faster the rate.
  • Temperature. ...
  • Physical state of reactants. ...
  • The presence (and concentration/physical form) of a catalyst (or inhibitor). ...
  • Light.
