Ch. 10 Flashcards
Reacting molecules must collide, have a minimum amount of ____, and have _____ orientation to form products
energy
proper
Three conditions required for a reaction to occur
- Collision
- Orientation (proper alignment to break & form bonds)
- Energy (of activation)
The ____ ____ is the minimum amount of energy needed to convert the colliding molecules into product
activation energy
rate of reaction =
change in concentration of reactant or product / change in time
Factors that affect the rate of a reaction
- temp change
- concentration
- adding a catalyst
reactions with ____ activation energies go faster than reactions with ____ activation energies
low
high
at higher temps, increase in KE of reactant molecules
makes them move faster
makes them collide more often
makes them collide with more energy
For every ___ increase in temperature, most reaction rates will _____
10 deg C; double
increase reacting molecules will cause more collisions and form more products so
reaction goes faster
catalysts speeds up the rate of reaction by providing an alternative pathway that
has a lower activation energy
during a reaction, a catalyst is…
not changed or consumed
when activation energy is lowered, more collisions provide energy for
reactants to form a product
refer to table 10.1
sweet job nerd
in most chemical rxns, reactants are not completely converted to products because
a reverse reaction takes place in which products collide to form the reactants
when a reaction proceeds in both a forward and a reverse direction, it is said to be a
reversible reaction
occurs in both the forward and reverse direction at the same time
reversible reaction
has two rates, a rate for the forward reaction and a rate for the reverse reaction
reversible reaction
as the reaction progresses, the rate of forward rxn decreases and that of the reverse rxn ___
increases
at equilibrium the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are _____
equal
the rate of the forward rxn = rate of reverse rxn AND
forward and reverse rxn’s continue at same rate
equilibrium
products form reactants in the ____ reaction
reverse
reactants form products in the ___ reaction
forward
Equilibrium constant
multiplies the concentrations of the products together and divides by the concentrations of the reactants (products) / (reactants)
Kc value is the
equilibrium constant
