2 - Kinetics Flashcards
1
Q
On the MBD curve, what is the bit with few particles with very high energy?
A
The asympote
2
Q
What does increasing temp do to a MBD curve?
A
Shifts right, same area underneath however
3
Q
How to find how many particles have at least the activation energy?
A
Area under the curve
4
Q
What does increasing the concentration do to a MBD curve?
A
Increases its height on the Y axis
5
Q
Why do catalysts increase rate of reaction
A
Provide an alternative route or mechanism with a lower activation energy
6
Q
What are homogenous catalysts?
A
Catalysts in the same phase as the reactants, usually liquids such as hardeners
