Section 13.1- Introduction to Chemical Kinetics

Question 1

describes a change in some quantity over time

Answer 1

rate

Question 2

we may define reaction rate by the equation

Answer 2

reaction rate=
change in molarity/ time for change=
delta M/ delta t

Question 3

the study of rates of reaction and the pathway taken during the reaction

Answer 3

chemical kinetics

Question 4

the rate is often measured over a relatively short interval immediately after the reactants are combines; this is known as the

Answer 4

initial rate of reaction

Question 5

when talking about concentration in an equation, put the thing concentrated in

Answer 5

brackets

Question 6

from the _____________, we know that gas molecules are in constant motion

Answer 6

kinetic theory of matter

Question 7

as time increases, the reactants will _________________ and the products will ________________

Answer 7

concentration of reactants DECREASE
concentration of the products INCREASE

rate = delta [?] / delta t

Question 8

states that the greater the frequency and the greater the energy of collision between reactant particles, the greater the rate of reaction

Answer 8

collision theory (comes out of kinetic theory of matter)

Question 9

the more particles are able to hit each other, that faster a reaction will be; affects that rate of reaction

Answer 9

1. higher temperature, more collisions

Question 10

the reaction rate of most reactions depends on the

Answer 10

positioning of the molecules – their orientation– when they collide

Question 11

only a ___________________ will break the bonds and form new bonds

Answer 11

favorable collision

Question 12

Chemical kinetics is the study of the

Answer 12

1. Rates of reaction
2. Pathway taken to get there
