Upon completion of this module, you should be able to explain what is meant by the reaction rate. Write reaction rates for chemical reactions, describe techniques used to measure the rate of a reaction. Thermodynamics tells us if a chemical reaction will take place once reactants are mixed and depend on the difference between the energies of the products and reactants. Kinetics tells us how fast the reaction will proceed based on the activation energy of the reaction. The reaction rate measures the change in the concentration of a reactant or a product with time. The reaction rate is usually measured by using the change in molarity per unit of time.
