The Rate of Reactions

Mr. Anderson explains the rate of chemical reactions, highlighting factors that affect reaction speed, such as concentration, pressure, phase, temperature, and surface area. He uses examples like rusting and hand warmers to illustrate slow and fast reactions. The video also covers how to measure reaction rates using formulas and Beer's law, and provides a molecular-level understanding through simulations. The importance of aligning reactants for effective reactions is emphasized, and the video concludes with a review of key concepts.
