Rates Of Reactants Flashcards
The rates of reaction formula
Reactant A + B —> AB Products
What is the rate of reaction?
Is how slowly or quickly a reaction occurs, or how quickly the recant are converted into products
How can a reaction rate be measured?
Measuring the increase in the amount of product over time
Measuring the decrease in the amount of reactant over time
Observe colour changes, temperature changes or amount or bubbling (if Gad is produced)
What happens in a chemical reaction?
Recant particles Inter with one another to form a new product
Chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are formed as the atoms are rearranged
Why does a reaction not happen every time when two reactants collide?
There has to be enough energy when collided to break the existing bonds between atoms
What makes a successful collision?
The right orientation and enough energy and speed to break the atoms bond
The rate of reaction is how quickly..
The reactants are converted into products
For a reaction to occur, the recants must..
Collide with one another
The higher the frequency of successful collision, the higher..
The reaction rate
You can measure the rate of reaction by measuring, at regular time intervals..
The mass of a solid reactant
The mass of a solid product
The volume of a gaseous product
