Rate Equations Flashcards
Order of reaction
The power to which the concentration of the reactant is raised in the rate equation
Three different orders
Zero order - no effect on the rate equation
First order - normal proportional effect on rate equation
Second Order - reaction rate is proportional to [A]^2
Overall order of reaction
The sun finally the powers of concentration terms in the rate equation
What is k
K is the constant for a reaction
Rate =k[a][b]
What factors effect k in rate equation
Temperature
Units of k in rate equation
Usually depends
But
Mol dm-3 s-1
RDS?
This is the slowest stem
This is where the rate equation is used up completely, if there us an equation that involves everything then this is the RDS
Arrhenius Equation
