5.1 rates, orders and equilibrium Flashcards
what is zero order
the conc of the substance has no effect on the rate
what is first order
as the conc doubles, the rate doubles
what is second order
- as the conc 2x , the rate 4x
- as the conc 3x, the rate 6x

arrhenius equation
A = pre-exponential factor
Ea = activation energy in kJmol-1
T = temp in K
R = gas constant
log form of arrhenius equation
how to calculate Ea and A from a graph of Ink against 1/T
gradient = Ea/R
y-intercept = InA
what is the rate determining step?
the slowest step
what is involved in the rate determining step if rate = [A][B]
both A and B
what is involved in the rate determining step if rate = [A]²
two molecules of A
