chapter 5 and 6 Flashcards
• speed at which the products are
formed from the reactants
reaction rate
• speed at which the products are
formed from the reactants
• speed at which the products are
formed from the reactants
•minimum amount of energy that
must be provided for compounds
to result in a chemical reaction
ACTIVATION
ENERGY
– accelerate
reaction rates
Positive catalyst –
– retard reaction
Negative catalyst
energy contents of the
molecules are altered to favor effective
contacts to produce new products (e.g.,
platinum)
Adsorption
State of a system in which the
rate of the forward reaction is
equal to the rate of the reverse
reaction.
Chemical Equilibrium
Any chemical reaction, once
initiated, is the result of two
opposing reactions. Forward and reverse
reactions
REVERSIBLE REACTIONS
Rate of a reaction is proportional
to the product of the
concentrations of each reactant
LAW OF MASS ACTION
A change in one of the variables
that describe
a system at
equilibrium produces
a shift in the
position of the equilibrium that
counteracts the effect of this
change
LE CHATELIER’S
PRINCIPLE
rate of a chemical reaction is
proportional to the number of
collisions between reactant
molecules
COLLISION
THEORY OF
REACTION RATE
Substances that increase the rate of
a chemical reaction without itself
undergoing any permanent chemical
change
catalyst
Contains the maximum amount of
dissolved solute
Saturated Solution
