Rate, equilibrium Flashcards
Rate of reaction
Change in concentration per unit time
Zero order
rate is unaffected by changing the concentration of A
To the power of zero
First order
Rate is directly proportional to concentration
To the power of one
Second order
Rate is proportional to concentration squared
To the power of 2
Overall order is the…
Sum of the powers
Half-life
Time taken for the concentration of a reactant to reduce by half
Arrhenius plot
Is a graph of ln k = lnA - Ea/R x 1/T
Homogeneous equilibrium
Is an equilibrium in which all the species making up the reactants and products are in the same physical state
Heterogeneous equilibrium
Is an equilibrium in which all the species making up the reactants and products are in different physical state.
Mole fraction
The measure of how much of a given substance is present in a reaction mixture
Partial pressure
The pressure an individual gaseous substance would exert if it occupied a whole reaction vessel
Bronstead-lowry acid
proton, H+ donor
Bronstead-lowry base
proton, H+ acceptor
strong acid
Acid that fully dissociates in solution
weak acid
Acid that partially dissociates in solution
