Rates Of Reaction Flashcards
Give the general rate equation
Rate = k [conc of reactant 1] [conc of reactant 2]
What use is there in finding whether a reactant is zero, first or second order?
To out what power there is in the rate equation
How would a higher temperature affect rate constant
As the temperature increases, the rate of reaction increases meaning the rate constant would also increase
How do we deduce an overall equation?
Cancel compounds which occur on both sides of the equations to give final overall equation
On a graph, how do you show that a reaction is first order
Show that there is a constant half life
What is meant by rate determining step
The slowest step in a multi-step reaction
How do you identify the intermediate, using equations
Compound which occurs in the products of the first equation and the products of the second, meaning it is used up
How do you identify the catalyst in the reaction, using equations
The compound which starts in products in one reaction and finishes in the reactants of another.
I.e: it is regenerated
