What is 'rate of reaction'?  Measuring rates of reaction. Rate of reaction: The rate of a reaction tells us how quickly a chemical reaction happens. During a reaction, we can measure how much reactant is used up in a certain time. On the other hand, we might choose to measure now much product is formed in a certain time. Measuring rates of reaction: Measure how quickly one of the reactants is being used up.
