Rate of Reaction and Mass Change

The video tutorial explains how to determine the rate of a chemical reaction by measuring the change in mass over time. It provides an example of a reaction in a conical flask where gas is evolved, and demonstrates how to calculate the rate using a graph that shows mass loss over time. The tutorial includes a detailed example of calculating the rate between specific time intervals, emphasizing the importance of ignoring negative signs when determining mass change.

What does the rate of a reaction indicate?

• The speed at which a product is formed

• The color change in a reaction
