Chemical Kinetics Flashcards
1
Q
How is a rate constant calculated
A
Rate over the rate determining step reactants over their orders
2
Q
How do you find the orders of reactants
A
They can only be found experimentally
3
Q
How can you deduce a reaction’s mechanism
A
The rate equation shows the reactants involved in the rate determining step which shows the number of steps required
4
Q
Factors affecting rate
A
Temperature Pressure Catalyst Concentration Surface area
5
Q
How can you measure rate
A
Continual rate
Initial rate
