CI 4 Flashcards
How do you work out initial rate of reaction on a graph?
1) Draw a tangent on the graph at the point t=0
2) measure the gradient
Rate equation for
A + B -> products
Given A is second order
B is first order
Rate = k[A]²[B]
What does increasing temperature by 10C do to the rate?
Doubles it
What is the unit for Ea (activation energy)?
jmol-1
What is the unit for temperature in the Arrhenius equation?
K
Degrees Celsius + 273
What is the Arrhenius equation in the form Y = Mx + c?
LnK. = -Ea/r X 1/T + LnA
Which way should the curve on a Arrhenius graph slope?
Downwards
What is the Y intercept in the Arrhenius equation?
LnA
What happens when a condition change results in a higher proportion of the product?
Rate of reaction decreases
