The slope of a _______ vs. _______ graph denotes velocity
displacement; time
An acceleration that remains steady at 0 m/s is a _______ acceleration
constant
A free fall situation refers to what?
situations where an object has no initial vertical velocity and experiences constant acceleration due to gravity
What is the simplified free fall equation?
t=√(2y/g)
What is a radical?

How do you determine entropy change in a reaction given the moles of reactants and products?
Count up the number of moles on both the reactants and products side
For a zero order reaction, the rate law is the _____ ______ and a plot of the reactant concentration over time is a straight line with ___ as the slope
rate constant; -k
How can we determine the order of a reaction given the rate law?
by adding up the exponents for the reactants included in the rate law
What are the units for a third order reaction?
M⁻²⁻s¹
Catalysts [stabilize or destabilize] the transition state.
stabilize
A [homogenous or heteogenous] catalyst is one that is in a different phase than the gaseous and liquid reactants
heteogenous
What is the overall order of a chemical reaction if it involves a single reactant (R) and if a plot of 1/([R]) vs. time is linear?
second order
What is the overall order of a chemical reaction if it involves a single reactant (R) and if a plot of [R] vs. time is linear?
zero order
What is the overall order of a chemical reaction if it involves a single reactant (R) and if a plot of (ln R) vs. time is linear?
first order
Only ________ are included in rate laws
reactants
What is the first step to determine the order of a specific reactant given the rate of the reaction and the concentrations of each reactant?
look for any cases where the concentrations of two reactants stayed constant while the third changed
What is the equation for the velocity of a sound wave in a certain material?
v=√B/p
