Kinetics Flashcards
1
Q
Reaction rate usually depends on…
A
Concentration of reactants
2
Q
How can we observe/measure rate
A
pH of products produced, volume of gas produce, time taken for colour change, mass of products produced
3
Q
Rate equation
A
rate =k[A]^x
[A] is concentration of reactant A in moll^-1, k is rate constant and x is the order of which the reactant is to.
4
Q
Rate of reaction is determined on which step in a reaction mechanism
A
The slowest one - referred to as the rate determining step.
5
Q
Name for a series of steps that a reaction takes place via
A
Mechanism
6
Q
What is meant by the order of a reaction?
A
The number of species in the rate determining step
