Reaction rate refers to the speed at which reactants are converted into products.

Explanation:

The complete question is:

"Which term refers to the speed at which reactants are converted into products?

A) reaction rate

B) activation energy

C) meta stable state

D) spontaneous reaction"

In a chemical process, substances called reactants are transformed into products as time passes. The reaction rate is defined as the change in the concentration of one of the reagents or products, in a time interval in which the change takes place. In other words, the speed of a chemical reaction is the speed with which products are formed (or with which reagents disappear).

Chemical kinetics is the area within physical chemistry that is responsible for studying the speed of a reaction, the factors that affect the speed of the reaction, and the mechanism that follows the reaction.

Reaction rate refers to the speed at which reactants are converted into products.
