Quiz 2 Flashcards
The higher the reaction barrier(activation energy)
the slower the reaction
reactions at higher temperatures
are faster reactions becasue
* molecules colide more frequently
* molecules collide with more energy
Measuring intial rate
- slope of line at start of reaction
rise/run - 10-15% of the reaction progress
Average reaction rate
(final consentration-inital consentration)/(final time- inital time)
Calculating order
Zero-order rate constant unit
M s^-1
First-order rate constant unit
s^-1
Second-order rate constant unit
M^-1 s^-1
Integrated Rate Law graph
Zero Order
Integrated Rate Law graph
First Order
Integrated Rate Law graph
Second Order
mechanism of a reaction
the detailed stepwise process of how we get from starting materials to the products
Ea
“energy barrier to reaction”
Activation energy
Large Ea
slow reaction
Small Ea
Fast reaction
