Lizards are ectotherms their body temperature depends on their surroundings. 13. 2 the rate of a chemical reaction (564) The rate of a chemical reaction is a measure of how fast the reaction occurs. When we measure the rate at which something occurs, the measurements are a change in some quantity per unit time. To measure the concentration of a reactant over a period of reactions we can use: rate = - [reactant] t. To measure the concentration of a product when it is double the moles of the reactant, we use: rate = [product] t. The increase in [hi] occurs at exactly twice the rate of the decrease in. [h2] b/c of the stoichiometry of the reaction. A technique known as polarimetry is when the products of a reaction rotate polarized light counter clockwise, and measuring the degree of polarization of light passing through a reacting solution.
