what are the units for both average and instantaneous rate
moldm-3 s-1
define average rate
rate over a range of time
define instantaneous rate
rate at a precise point in time
how can you calculate average rate
change in concentration/
change in time
rate is the change in concentration of a reactant or product over time.
how do you calculate instantaneous rate
draw a tangent at that point and calculate the gradient
what is a general rate equation
rate=K(A)^M (B)^N
what are the units for concentration
mol dm-3
what is K and what is is dependant on
rate constant
dependant on temperature
as temperature increases rate increases so K must increase
finding units for k

draw concentration time-graph for formation of product
in booklet
draw concentration time-graph for disappearing of reactant
in booklet
what is a first order reactant
direct proportionality between concentration of reactant and rate of reaction
eg-as one doubles so will the other.
draw the concentration-time graph for 1st order reactant
in booklet
draw the rate-concentration graph for 1st order reactant
in booklet
what is a 0th order reaction
no relationship between concentration of a reactant and rate of reaction
