kinetics Flashcards
what are the three ways to measure the rate of reaction
wait to see a cross disappear
measure change in mass as a gas escapes
measure change in a volume of gas collected
what is the formular for the rate of reaction
product formed over time
what are the ways to increase the rate of a reaction
catalyst
increase temp
increase pressure
increase surface area
increase concentration
what does and increase rate of reaction mean
more collision in a given time
how does a catalyst increase the rate of a reaction
creates an alternate pathway with a lower activation energy without being chemically changed
why does the maxwell Boltzmann distribution go through 00
0 particles have 0 energy
what is the area under a maxwell Boltzmann distribution
number of particles
what is the peak of maxwellboltzman distrobution
most probable energy
what is the activation energy
minimum KE to react
