Definition
The reaction rate is a measure of how fast a chemical reaction occurs.

Rate Determining Step: This is like your slowest mile in a marathon—it’s what determines your overall pace or 'reaction rate'.
Catalyst: A catalyst in chemistry works similarly to having wind at your back during a race—it helps speed up reactions without being consumed itself.
Product Formation Rate: It's like counting number of runners crossing finish line per unit time.
