20
Q

Hess’s law of heat summation

A

The scientific law stating that the enthalpy change of a physical or chemical process depends only on the beginning conditions (reactants) and the end conditions (products) and is independent of the pathway of the reaction or the number of intermediate steps in the reaction.

A reaction in which a substance is formed from elements in their standard states.

22
Q

Standard molar enthalpy of formation 🔼H•f

24
Q

Renewable Resource

A

Resources that exist in infinite supply.

25
Q

Instantaneous Rate

A

The rate of a reaction at a particular time; can be determined by drawing a tangent to a concentration-time curve at the given time and finding the slope of the tangent.

26
Q

Rate Law Equation

A

And equation that describes the rate of a reaction by the concentration of the reactants raised to an exponent, ex: Rate= k[A]m[B] n

27
Q

Rate Constant (k)

31
Q

Collision Theory

A

The theory stating the reacting particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) must collide with one another for a reaction to occur.

32
