4.2.3: Rate Equations Flashcards
1
Q
The rate equation
A
rate = k [a] [b]
eg
2
Q
Rate constant letter
A
k
3
Q
The rate constant
A
Links the concentration of reactants to the rate of reaction
4
Q
Larger the rate constant is,
A
the faster the reaction
5
Q
Increase the temperature…
effect on rate and k
A
the rate of reaction increases
but the concentrations and orders of reactants haven’t changed
so an increase the value of k has increased the rate of reaction
