1
Q
Chemical Kinetics
A
The area of chemistry that concerns reaction rates
2
Q
Instantaneous Rate
A
The value of the rate at a particular time can be obtained by computing the slope of a line tangent to the curve of the point
3
Q
Rate Law
A
(Differential Rate Law) An expression the shows how the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of reactants

A
The proportionally constant in the relationship between reaction rate and reactant concentrations
5
Q
Order (of Reactant)
A
The positive or negative exponent, determined by experiment, of the reactant concentration in a rate law
