Chemical kinetics Flashcards
1
Q
Collision theory
A
Focuses on energy and the orientation of reactants, and considers each potential reaction to be “all-or-nothing” (either there is enough energy to form products or there is not).
2
Q
Rate eqation
A
Rate= Z x f z= tot number of collisions f= fraction of collisions that are effective
3
Q
Transition state theory
A
Focuses on forming the products or reverting to the reactants.
4
Q
Factors that affect reaction rate
A
- reaction concentration
2 temperature
3 medium - catalyst
5
Q
Arrhenius equation
A
k= Ae(-Ea/RT)
6
Q
Mixed Order
A
Order that vary over the course
7
Q
Broken order
A
Fractions
