chem 106 quiz 3 Flashcards
4 factors that control the rate of a chemical reaction
physical state of reactant, concentration, temperature, add a catalyst
how to find order wrt a certain reactant
ratio of initial concentrations to initial rates and then find the exponent
overall order of a reaction
add the exponents
how to find k
plug in a row of the table (if applicable)
zero order rate =
k
1st order rate =
k[A]
2nd order rate =
k[A]^2
zero order equation that yields a straight line
[A]t = -kt + [A]0
1st order equation that yields a straight line
ln[A]t = -kt + ln[A]0
2nd order equation that yields a straight line
1/[A]t = kt + 1/[A]0
half-life
time it takes to reach 1/2[A]0
t1/2 =
0.693 / k
2 sig figs in log yields
2 decimal places
