Mid-term 1 Flashcards
bronsted acid
donating a proton
bronsted base
accepting a proton
homogeneous catalyst
the catalyst is in the same phase as the reactants
heterogeneous catalyst
the catalyst is in a different phase as the reactants
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
Physical state of reactants; concentration of reactants; temperature; presence of a catalyst
molecularity
is the number of molecules that come together to react in an elementary (single-step) reaction[1]
leveling affect
the effect of solvent on the properties of acids and bases
basic salt
A salt formed between a weak acid and a strong base is a basic salt
acid salt
A salt formed between a strong acid and a weak base is a acidic salt
le chatelier’s principle
Factors that will change the relative rates of forward/reverse reactions, or change the value of Q compared to K, will cause a shift in the position of equilibrium.
