GCSE Chemistry - How to Calculate the Rate of Reaction - Measuring Rate of Reaction #48
Cognito・1 minute read
Graphs measure reaction rates by plotting hydrogen volume against time, calculating average or specific rates by analyzing the curve's gradient and hydrogen changes for a given time period. This process can also be applied to graphs showing magnesium levels over time to determine reaction rates similarly.
Insights
- Graphs can help measure reaction rates by plotting hydrogen volume against time, allowing calculation of average rates over a period and specific rates at given times.
- Calculating rates of reaction involves finding gradients of curves on graphs, requiring drawing tangents to determine changes in hydrogen volume over time, a process applicable to different reaction scenarios.

Measuring Reaction Rates Using Graphs
- Graphs can be used to measure the mean rate of a reaction and the rate of reaction at a specific time by plotting the volume of hydrogen produced against time.
- The average rate of reaction over a certain period can be calculated by finding the amount of hydrogen produced during that time frame on the graph.
- To determine the rate of reaction at a specific time, the gradient of the curve at that point needs to be calculated by drawing a tangent to the curve and finding the change in volume of hydrogen over the change in time.
- The process of calculating rates of reaction can also be applied to graphs plotting the amount of magnesium remaining against time, with similar steps to find the rate at a specific time.
