topic 16 - further kinetics Flashcards
rate of reaction equation
change in conc / time
methods of measuring rates of reactions
volume of gas
change in mass
change in colormetry
titration / quenching
change in ph
change in conductivity
first order
rate = k[A]
s^-1
half life equal
rate change is proportional to conc change
second order
rate = k[A]^2
dm^3mol^-1s^-1
zero order
rate = k
mol dm^-3s^-1
conc of reactant is proportional to volume
gradient does not change
Rate does not change
third order
rate = k[A]^2[B]
dm6mol-2s-1
rate-determining step
the part of a reaction that determines the rate of the reaction e.g the slowest/least
Arrhenius equation
log of the arrhenius equation
heterogenous catalysts
reactants absorb onto thev active site on catalyst
reaction happens
products deabsorb
diff between enthlapy in booklet
298k in gas state
units of rate contstant
dm3 mol-1 s-1
why cant order be higher
because not that many ions colliding in rate determining step
