Chemical kinetics Flashcards
Reaction rate
change in concentration/ time
The _____ the concentration, the ____ collision therefore a ______ rate
higher/ lower
more/ less
faster/ slower
Instantaneous rate
Rate at a specific moment in time
Rate law
rate = rate constant (k) * reactants [A][B]
Reaction order is defined in terms of _______ concentration, not the __________
reactant
product
Integrated rate law
Shows the concentration at any given time
Zeroth order
slope = -k

First order equation
ln[A] t = -kt + ln[A]o
| + | + | + | + \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
Second order equation
1/[A]t= kt + 1/[A]o slope = k

Factors affecting rate pf collision
frequency , temperature , concentration
Effective collsion
Results in reactions
Activation energy
Required to initiate reactions
Transition state
Temporary species formed as molecules collide
Lower the activation energy _____ the reaction
faster
Arrhenius equation
ln (k1/ k2) = -(E/R) * change in temperature
