Chemical Identity A chemical species is said to have reacted when it has lost its chemical identity.
Chemical Identity A chemical species is said to have reacted when it has lost its chemical identity. The identity of a chemical species is determined by the kind, number, and configuration of that species’ atoms.

Reaction Rate The reaction rate is the rate at which a species looses its chemical identity per unit volume.
Reaction Rate The reaction rate is the rate at which a species looses its chemical identity per unit volume. The rate of a reaction can be expressed as the rate of disappearance of a reactant or as the rate of appearance of a product.
Reaction Rate The reaction rate is the rate at which a species looses its chemical identity per unit volume. The rate of a reaction can be expressed as the rate of disappearance of a reactant or as the rate of appearance of a product. Consider species A:
Reaction Rate The reaction rate is the rate at which a species looses its chemical identity per unit volume. The rate of a reaction can be expressed as the rate of disappearance of a reactant or as the rate of appearance of a product. Consider species A: rA = the rate of formation of species A per unit volume
Reaction Rate The reaction rate is the rate at which a species looses its chemical identity per unit volume. The rate of a reaction can be expressed as the rate of disappearance of a reactant or as the rate of appearance of a product. Consider species A: rA = the rate of formation of species A per unit volume -rA = the rate of a disappearance of species A per unit volume
Reaction Rate The reaction rate is the rate at which a species looses its chemical identity per unit volume. The rate of a reaction can be expressed as the rate of disappearance of a reactant or as the rate of appearance of a product. Consider species A: rA = the rate of formation of species A per unit volume -rA = the rate of a disappearance of species A per unit volume rB = the rate of formation of species B per unit volume

Reaction Rate EXAMPLE: If B is being formed at 0.2 moles per decimeter cubed per second, ie, rB = 0.2 mole/dm3/s Then A is disappearing at the same rate: -rA= 0.2 mole/dm3/s The rate of formation (generation of A) is rA= -0.2 mole/dm3/s
Reaction Rate For a catalytic reaction, we refer to -rA', which is the rate of disappearance of species A on a per mass of catalyst basis.
NOTE: dCA/dt is not the rate of reaction Reaction Rate For a catalytic reaction, we refer to -rA', which is the rate of disappearance of species A on a per mass of catalyst basis. NOTE: dCA/dt is not the rate of reaction
