CH 16 Reaction Rate Laws

Question 1

Rate law

Answer 1

Expresses the relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction in the concentration of reactants at a given temperature. 

Question 2

One step reaction rate law

Answer 2

rate = K[A]

[A] = The concentration of a reactant

K = constant

Question 3

Specific rate constant

Answer 3

A numerical value that relieve the reaction rate in the concentration of reactants at a given temperature

Question 4

True or false
the specific rate constant is unique for every reaction and can have a variety of units

Answer 4

True

Question 5

Reaction order

Answer 5

Defines how the rate is affected by the concentration of that reactant 

Question 6

The method of initial rates

Answer 6

Determines reaction order by comparing the initial rate of a reaction carried out by the rain reactant concentrations. The initial rate measures how fast reaction proceeds at the moment at which the reactants are mixed in the concentration of the reactants are known
