2.3 Kinetics Flashcards
What does the rate of a chemical reaction depend on
The concentration of the reactants
What depends on the concentrations of the reactants
The rate of a chemical reaction
What are orders of reaction used for
To relate the rate of reaction to the reacting species
Zero order of a reactant
If changing the concentration of the reactant has no effect on the rate of reaction
Changing the concentration of the reactant has no effect on the rate of reaction
Reaction is zero order with respect to this reactant
Reaction is first order with respect to A
Doubling the concentration of reactant A doubles the rate of reaction
Doubling the concentration of reactant A doubles the rate of reaction
Reaction is first order with respect to A
Reaction is second order with respect to A
Doubling the concentration of a reactant A increases the reaction fourfold
Doubling the concentration of a reactant A increases the reaction fourfold
Reaction is second order with respect to A
Reaction is first order with respect to A expression
Reaction is second order with respect to A expression
What is the order of a reaction with respect to any reactant
The power to which the concentration of that reactant is raised in the rate equation
The power to which the concentration of that reactant is raised in the rate equation
The order of a reaction with respect to any reactant
What is needed to determine the order of a reaction
Experimental data
What can be determined from initial rate data for a series of reactions in which the initial concentrations of reactants are varied
The rate equation and rate constant
