Answer: the speed at which products form

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of a reaction is defined as the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds. It is often expressed in terms of the concentration of a reactant that is consumed in a unit time or the concentration of a product that is formed in a unit of time.

For a general reaction :
A\rightarrow B


Rate=-(d[A])/(dt)

or
Rate=+(d[B])/(dt)

where d[A] = change in concentration of reactant A

d[B] = change in concentration of product B

dt = time interval
