2ND QUARTER Flashcards
CHEMICAL KINETICS
Concerned with the speeds, or rates, at which a chemical reaction occurs
KINETICS
CHEMICAL KINETICS
General Equation
Reactants -> Products
CHEMICAL KINETICS: FACTORS
The more readily the reactant molecules collide with one another, the more rapidly they react
PHYSICAL STATE
CHEMICAL KINETICS: FACTORS
More particles present increase the chance of molecules colliding
REACTANT CONCENTRATION
CHEMICAL KINETICS: FACTORS
Addition of energy (heat) increases the kinetic energy of molecules
REACTION TEMPERATURE
CHEMICAL KINETICS: FACTORS
Catalysts increase reaction by changing the mechanism of reaction
PRESENCE OF CATALYST
CHEMICAL KINETICS
COLLISION THEORY
Particles must collide
Sufficient Energy
Correct Orientation
CHEMICAL KINETICS
Rate at a specific point in time
Instantaneous Rate
CHEMICAL KINETICS
Average between two instantaneous rates
Average Rate
CHEMICAL KINETICS
A constant of proportionality between the reaction rate and the concentration of reactant
RATE CONSTANT
CHEMICAL KINETICS
Expresses the relationship of the rate of a reaction to the rate constant and the concentrations of the reactants raised to some powers
RATE LAW
CHEMICAL KINETICS
The rate depends on the concentration of a single reactant raised to the first power
FIRST ORDER REACTION
CHEMICAL KINETICS
The rate depends either on a reactant raised to the second power or on the concentrations of reactant each raised to the first power
SECOND ORDER REACTION
CHEMICAL KINETICS
The concentration of any reactant does not affect the rate
ZERO ORDER REACTION
CHEMICAL KINETICS
Overall sum of the order of each reactant
THIRD ORDER REACTION
