Rate equations and Kp Flashcards
Reaction rate
The change in the amount of reactant or product per unit time
How to calculate the gradient
Change in Y / Change in X
How to calculate rate from a gradient
Draw a line of best fit
Draw a triangle from 2 points
Y/X
if the line points down it is negative
How to calculate rate from a curved graph
Find the point on the curve you need to look at eg 0s or 3s
Ruler at that point but can still see the whole curve
Make sure curve is equal on both sides
Draw line OBF and extrapolate
Triangle on tangent
Y/X
Rate equation
Rate = K[A][B] and the indices are the order of reaction
If [A] changes and [B] stays the same, the order…
of reaction is 0 with respect to [A]
If the rate is proportional to [A] the order..
of reaction is 1 with respect to [A]
If the rate is proportional to [A]^2 the order..
of reaction is 2 with respect to [A]
How to find overall rate
The indices added up
What does K =
The rate constant
Effect rate has on temperature
As the temperature increases the rate increases. The number of collisions are more frequent per unit time. More molecules react with energy more than the activation energy. So MORE successful collisions
