Interpretation:
Average
Concept Introduction:
Consider the following reaction.
Where
Where,
Rate of the reaction can be expressed in terms of change in concentration of reactant and products by multiplying the reciprocal of the corresponding stoichiometric co-efficient to that.
When the rate is expressed in terms of change in reactant concentration, a minus sign has to be given. Since change in time will be a positive quantity and reactant concentration decreases with time change in concentration of reactant will be negative. So in order to make the rate a positive quantity negative sign is given.
But if the rate is expressed in terms of change in concentration of products, which is a positive quantity, no need of negative sign in the rate expression.
