Kinetics & Equilibria Flashcards
Rate equation?
Rate = k[A][B][X]
What is first order?
Rate is proportional to the change in concentration
What is second order?
Rate is proportional to the concentration squared
What is zero order?
Rate is unaffected by a change in concentration
What does k represent?
Rate constant, varies with temperature
What is the equation for k?
k = Ae⁻ᴱᵃ/ᴿᵀ
What do A, Ea, R and T stand for?
A- constant
Ea- activation energy
R- gas constant
T- temperature (K)
How do you find rate from a graph?
Find the equation of the tangent
What is the equilibrium constant used for gas reactions?
Kp
How is Kp calculated?
Using partial pressures
How do you find mole fractions?
Moles of substance over total moles
How do you find partial pressures?
Mole fraction x pressure
