Ap Chem. Ch.14 Flashcards
Chemical identity
- usually oppositely charged ions react ____.
- bonds with HIGH BOND ENERGIES are harder to break and _____.
Fast
Slower
The more HOMOGENEOUS the mixture of reactants, the ______ the molecules can react.
Faster
As the concentration of reactants increase
Collide
At higher TEMPERATURES, reactant molecules have more kinetic energy, move faster, and ________more often and with_____energy.
Collide
Greater
Each 10 degrees increase apporimately does what to the reaction rate?
Doubles it
Ex: if the temperature increses by 20 degrees, the rate of reaction is quadripuled.
How do Catalysts speed up reactions?
By changing the mechanism of the reaction
Catalysts are NOT part of the overall equation and ____ consumed during the course of the reaction.
Are not
Except for substances in the gaseous state or solution, where do the reactions occur?
Reactions occur at the boundary between phases
What happens to the rate of reaction as the suface area increases?
Increase in surface area increases the chance for collision, making the RATE FASTER!
How can rates of reactions be determined?
By monotoring the change in concentration of either reactants or products as a function of time.
