Mother Effing Final Flashcards
Reaction Rate is equal to…
[A]/time or P=(nRT)/v because n/v= [A]
Factors that Affect Rate (And how)
Temp- increased temp= more collisions and KE
Concentration- higher [ ] means more collisions per volume
Physical state- as SA increases, so does rate
Which is constant? Rates or K
K
rate of ___1__ = - rate of ___2____
- Product
2. Reactant
First Order Rate Law and Reaction Order
Rate law = K[A]^x where x equals rate order
ln ([Ainitial]/[Afinal])= -Kt
Do First Order Reactions have intermediates?
NOPE
Half life equations for first and second order
First order half life= 0.693/k
Which is longer? T1/2 of 1st or 2nd order reaction?
2nd order
2nd order rate law
(1/[A]final)- (1/[A}initial)=Kt
Reaction Mechanisms
1) Elementary Steps must be physically reasonable (uni- or bi-molecular)
2) Steps must add to give overall eqn
3) Mechanism must correlate with data and rate determining step
Rate determining Step
Slowest step; rate law for this step is the overall rate law
To react, molecules must..?
Collide in space and with proper orientation
Activation Energy
collisions must have a certain minimum energy (Ea) for a reaction to occur
Arrhenius Equation
K=Ae^(-Ea/RT) A=frequency factor Ea= activation Energy R=ideal gas constant (8.314 J/mol K) T= temp in Kelvin
Eqn for finding K from different temps
ln (k1/k2) = (Ea/RT)((T1-T2)/T1T2)
Catalysts
increase reaction rate without being consumed
lowers both forward and reverse Ea by bonding with surface
Homogenous vs heterogenous catalysts
homo: in same state (G-G, L-L)
hetero: in different states (G-S)
At equilibrium, do the [products] and [reactants] change?
No!
Equilibrium
Forward rate = reverse rate
Keq
Equilibrium constant
= [products]/[reactants]
What do the coefficients in a reaction do with Keq equation?
They become exponents
EX: 3A+B–> 2C so Keq= [C]^2/ ([A]^3[B])
K>1
Product Favored
Forward reaction
K
Reactant favored
Reverse reaction
Kp =?????
= Kc (RT)^(change in n)
When to use Q
When you’re not at equilibrium
When Q=K
You’re at Equilibrium
When Q
reactants need consumed
run reverse reaction
When Q>K
products need consumed
run forward reaction
When to use Ice Chart
When you have Keq and initial concentrations…. or basically any time you have the initial concentration of anything.
Le chat’s Principle
if equilibrium is “disturbed”, a net reaction occurs to reduce the effect of the distrubance; new equilibrium concentrations are established
2SO3 reacts to form 2SO2 + O2. If more O2 is added, what will happen?
SO3 will increase while SO2 decreases and O2 increases, then decreases
If you reduce a volume by 1/2, what should you do the the concentrations?
Double them!
Nuclear Reactions are ALWAYS what order?
First
Are mass changes possible in both chemical and nuclear reactions?
No; only nuclear
Atoms can not change identities in (A) chemical or (B) nuclear reactions?
chemical
What is traded in a Chemical reaction? In a Nuclear?
Chemical- electrons
Nuclear- protons and neutrons
Alpha emission
Helium atom
Beta emission
-1 on neutron (bottom number)
Positron
+1 on neutron (bottom number)
gamma ray
positron + electron
change in E= change in m c^2, whats delta m?
delta m = (mass/nucleus)(6.02x10^23 nuclei/mol)
U-238 means…?
there are 283 nucleons in that atom
nucleon
nuetron + proton
Atomic mass
Spontaneous
Reaction that occurs under a certain product-favored set o conditions
Delta G1
Exothermic
product-favored
delta H1; if T>0, K
