  Reaction rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pressure: The rate of gaseous reactions increases with pressure, which is, in fact, equivalent to an increase in concentration of the gas.
For a chemical reaction n A + m B → C + D, the rate equation or rate law is a mathematical expression used in chemical kinetics to link the rate of a reaction to the concentration of each reactant.
Reactions 1 and 3 are very rapid compared to the second, so it is the slowest reaction that is reflected in the rate equation.

The rate or speed of the reaction is dependent on the concentrations of iodide ion and hydrogen peroxide.
In the reaction where the concentration of hydrogen peroxide (a molecular compound) is varied, the difference in the total volume of solution is compensated by the equivalent amount of another molecular compound, water.
In the reaction where the concentration of iodide ion is varied, the difference in total volume is compensated by the equivalent amount of another ion of the same charge, the chloride ion.

 Comparing Reaction Rate
Reaction rate usually is expressed in terms of moles per unit time.
This rate is affected by several factors including the nature of the reactants, concentration of the reactants, temperature, pressure, and the presence of catalysts.
A working definition of reaction rate as a change in concentration divided by time or as a function of time is necessary.

The more concentrated the faster the rate (note in some cases the rate may be unaffected by the concentration of a particular reactant provided it is present at a minimum concentration).
If we examine the effect on the rate of a reaction by changing the initial concentration of reactants we may be able to derive the rate law and hence the reaction order.
Rate = k [NO The rate law is an equation that relates the rate of a reaction to the concentration of reactants raised to various powers.

 Chemical Kinetics: Rate of Reaction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The rate of reaction, r, is defined to be the slope of the concentration-time plot for a species divided by the stoichiometric coefficient of that species.
Notice that this definition produces the same rate of reaction irrespective of which species in the reaction is used to perform the calculation.
As is evident from the above example, there is a relationship between the stoichiometric coefficient of a species in a reaction, the rate of change of the concentration of that species, and the rate of reaction.

Kinetics is the area of chemistry concerned with reaction rates.

 Reaction rate theory
Kramers reaction rate theory predicts that the solvent dynamics will always decrease the reaction rate, or that in the most favorable situation no barrier recrossings take place and the rate constant corresponds with that of Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM) rate theory, which gives the TST rate as a function of the collision rate for independent polyatomic molecules.
Performing the reaction in solution affects the reaction rate constant in two ways: 1) the static energy barrier is changed, due to different energies of solvation for the reactant state and the transition state (on the same ground the equilibrium constant
By separating the rate constant in terms of the probability to reach the barrier top, the crossing velocity and the transmission coefficient, solvent effects on the reaction rate constant can be studied with molecular dynamics techniques.

If the reaction is allowed to go on, you can measure the final maximum volume of gas and the time at which the reaction stops, though this a very poor measure of rate, because the reaction just goes slower and slower as the reactant amounts/concentrations are decreasing.
The rate of a reaction that produces a gas can also be measured by following the mass loss as the gas is formed and escapes from the reaction flask.
It does not matter whether the reaction is an exothermic or an endothermic in terms of energy change, its the activation energy which is the most important factor in terms of temperature and reaction speed.
