C18 - Further Kinetics Flashcards
1
Q
What is a zero order of reaction?
A
If the concentration is increased the rate of reaction does not change
2
Q
What is a first order of reaction?
A
If the concentration is doubled the rate of reaction doubles
3
Q
What is a second order of reaction?
A
If the concentration is doubled the rate of reaction quadruples (squared)
4
Q
What are the units for the rate of reaction?
A
mol dm-3 s-1
5
Q
What is the only factor that can effect the rate constant?
A
Temperature
6
Q
What is the name for the step that is the slowest in a multi step reaction?
A
The rate determining step
7
Q
When the Arrhenius equation is modelled as a graph what are the axis?
A
1/T a on X-axis (K-1)
ln k (k being the rate constant)
