13A - Rate of Chem Rxn Flashcards
1
Q
Theory: Thermo vs Kinetics
A
Energies pof reactants and products and factors that drive rxn to form stable product vs
How fast reactant are being converted into products.
2
Q
Def: What is thermo in terms of eqm?
A
Spontaneity and position of eqm
3
Q
Def: What is kinetics in terms of eqm?
A
Rxn rate and time to achieve eqm.
4
Q
Def: What is inst vs avg rate of rxn.
A
inst = -1/a delta-[A]/dt ….
avg = -1/a delta-[A]/delta-t
If (-) its reactant that decreases over time.
5
Q
Theory: What are rxn rates dimeinsally? Units?
A
Concentration per time
mol/L*s
