Reaction Rate

Real World Example

Imagine you're making a cup of coffee in the morning, but you're in a rush to get out the door. The speed at which you can prepare your coffee is similar to the reaction rate, as it determines how quickly you can turn raw coffee beans, water, and milk into a finished cup. Just like the efficiency and speed of your coffee-making depends on factors like water temperature and grind size, the reaction rate depends on factors like temperature, concentration, and catalysts to convert reactants into products efficiently.
