CHAPTER 6 Flashcards
1
Q
What are the types of reactions?
A
Homogeneous : reaction which occurs entirely in one phase
Heterogeneous : reactions which occurs in two or more phases
2
Q
What defines the molecularity of a reaction?
A
The number of reactants in an elementary step (only for elementary reactions)
3
Q
When are rate-determining step and steady state approximation method used?
A
1) Rate-determining: if one step is much slower
2) stead-state: reaction intermediates are involved but do not appear in overall…slow step isn’t clear
