rate of reaction Flashcards
what is reaction rate?
The reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place
how do you calculate the average reaction rate?
dividing the change in concentration by the change in time
what is the formula for reaction rate?
change in mass of reactant/ time
how can reaction rate be increased
changing temp adding energy changing concertation changing volume changing surface area
what is the concertration of a solution
c=n/v
c= concentration of solution in mol L-1
n = moles of substance being dissolved
V = volume of solution in liters
what is activation energy
the minimum amount of energy to start a reaction
what is does delta H stand for
change in enthalpy
what is the change in enthalpy formula
delta H = H(product) - H(reactant)
what are catalyzed used for in an reaction?
to make them happen faster but they do not react.
