Q

What is the calculus method to find instantaneous rate?

A

The rate of change of a function can be determined at a single point by taking the first derivative of the function.
To find the slope of the tangent…
- Y prime = exponent X ax to the power of n-1

Q

What is collision theory?

A

In order for a reaction to occur, reactant molecules must collide in order to form products. The collisions must be frequent and the effective.

15
Q

What does it mean for a collision to be effective?

A

The particles must collide with correct orientations, and the must have sufficient energy.

16
Q

What is activation energy?

A

The minimum amount of energy that the reactants must have in order to react and form products.

17
Q

What is an activated complex?

A

During a reaction, a particle that is neither reactant nor product forms momentarily. It is a transition on molecule. Molecules may only reach the activated complex if there is sufficient energy, and correct orientation.

18
Q

What affect does temperature have on the rate of a reaction?

A

Increase KE, increase collisions, increase rate

19
Q

What affect does concentration have on the rate of a reaction?

A

Increase reactant particles/decrease volume, increase collisions, increase rate

20
Q

What affect does pressure have on the rate of a reaction?

A

Increase concentration, increase number if collisions, increase rate

21
Q

What affect does surface area have on the rate of a reaction?

A

Decrease particle size, increase surface area, increase collisions, increase rate.

22
Q

What affect does a catalyst have on the rate of a reaction?

A

Increase the rate by providing a lower energy pathway without being consumed in the process.

23
Q

What is rate law?

A

A mathematical expression that enable us to see how altering the concentration of reactants effects the overall rate of the reaction. We use experimental data to determine the mathematical relationship.

24
Q

What does k represent in the rate law?

A

Rate law constant

25
Q

What is a reaction mechanism?

A

A series of elementary steps that makes up an overall reaction.

26
Q

What is an elementary step?

A

A step in a reaction mechanism that only involves one-, two-, three- particle collisions.

27
Q

What is the rate determining step?

A

The slowest step in a reaction mechanism.

28
Q

What a rate intermediates?

A

Molecules formed as short lived products in reaction mechanisms. They are produced in one reaction and consumed in another.
