rate equations Flashcards
What is meant by the term order of reaction with respect to a reactant
power of concentration term in rate equation
how do change the value of k
by changing the temperature
how can you determine a catalyst is present in a reaction
as it appears in the rate equation but not the overall equation
for an order 1 reaction explain why doubling the temperature increases the rate alot greater than doubling concentration of a reactant
reaction occurs when particles have energy equal or greater than activation energy
doubling temperature gives many more molecules energy greater than or equal to activation energy
where as doubling only doubles the molecules with energy greater than or equal to activation energy
what is the significance of a zero order reactant
it doesn’t appear in the rate determining step
why are intial rates used to determine orders of reactants
as the concentrations of the reactants are known
what is the relationship between the rate constant and temperature
it is exponential
