Rate of conversion

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009938",
  "term": "Rate of conversion",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The rate at which the extent of a chemical reaction changes with respect to time, often expressed in moles per second. It quantifies how quickly reactants are transformed into products for the entire system, rather than for individual species. This rate is related to the rates of consumption and formation of individual components through their stoichiometric coefficients.",
