Exam 2 Flashcards
(58 cards)
see last deck for colligative properties
okayt
isotonic
concentration inside equals outside
hypotonic
high concentrations of solute inside cell so water flows in
hypertonic
concentration of solute is greater outside cell so it leaves
suspension
particles settle out
colloids
particles don’t settle out
surfactant
hydrophilic head with a hydrophobic tail
monolayer
one layer of surfactant
micelles
nonpolar tails surround with polar heads sticking out. helps dissolve stuff AKA soap
vesicles
polar inside, non polar facing each other and then polar heads facing outside again
cell membrane
phospholipid bilayer. polar phospholipid head with 2 lipid tails that are hydrophobic
supersaturated solutions
more than can dissolve, very unstable
reaction mechanisms
the pathway that the materials follow while becoming products. can be unimolec, with one reactant, bi with two tri with three
elementary reaction
one step of a mechanism
mechanism
has multiple elementary reactions
intermediate
appears between steps and not in products
reaction rate
number of molecules reacting per second.
rate determining step
slowest elementary reaction
rate units
molarity per second
as you go on with reactions, rate
decreases as there are fewer reactant molecules present. fewer collisions occur. the rate per collision is constant
High conc, hi molecules, hi collisions
hi rate
Twice as many NO moles
number of collisions doubles compared to just NO one mol
overall order
sum of exponents
Rate laws mirror the reactions stoichiometry for
rate- limiting steps
