properties that depend on the number of solute particles, not their chemical identity
colligative properties
the change in the concentrations of reactants or products as a function of time
reaction rate
rate =
change of concentration / change in time
mol / L * s
0 order
mol L -1 s -1
0 order
1/s
1st order
s -1
1st order
L / mol *s
2nd order
L mol -1 s -1
2nd order
L^2 / mol^2 * s
3rd order
L^2 mol -2 s-1
3rd order
integrated rate law 1st order rearranged
ln [A]t = -kt + ln [A]0
integrated rate law 2nd order rearranged
1/[A]t - 1/[A]0 = kt
integrated rate law 1/2 life rearranged
[A]t - [A]0 = -kt
collisions that actually lead to product
effective collisions
the energy threshold that the colliding molecules must exceed in order to react
activation energy (Ea)
when reactant molecules collide with a certain minimum energy, from which they can change to products
activated state
specific for each reaction ; related to the structural complexity of the reactants and is the ratio of effectively oriented collisions to all possible collisions
more complex molecular structure of reactant, smaller p value
orientation probability factor (p)
aka activated complex, formed by an effective collision between particles ; is an unstable species that contains partial bonds and is a pathway between reactants and products
transition state
plots how potential energy changes as the reaction proceeds from reactants to products
reaction energy diagram
reaction rate (increases/decreases) exponentially as temperature increases
increases
the product of the collision frequency Z and the orientation probability
A=pZ
frequency factor (A)
the sequence of single reaction steps that make up an overall equation
reaction mechanism
as activation energy increases, reaction speed (increases/decreases)
decreases
