Extent and rates of reaction Flashcards
Fick’s law
diffusion is greater when concentration varies steeply
Phenomenological diffusion
movement of substance from high to low conc. without bulk motion
Atomistic diffusion
molecules propelled by collisions in high conc. areas
Rotation
movement about an axis
Translation
movement from one place to another
Vibration
motion of one atom in relation to another
Effect of temp on rate constants?
rate constants increase with temp
how does a catalyst work?
modifies reaction energy pathways
Order of a reaction?
sum of exponents of concentrations in rate law equation
First order reaction…
-single reactant converted to product
-rate proportional to concentration of reactant
- k is first order rate constant
First order reaction rate
Ln[A]t = -Kt +ln[A]0
First order half life
T1/2= ln2/K1
Second order reaction rate
1/[A]t = K2t + 1/[A]0
second order half life
T1/2= 1/K2[A]0
Zero order reaction rate
[A]t=[A]0-Kt
