Half life of zero order
[A]initial/2k
Half life first order
ln(2)/k
Half life second order
1/(k*[A]initial)
First order rate law
Af=Aie^-kt
Second order rate law
1/Af-1/Ai=kt
Zero order rate law
Ai-Af=kt
Arrhenius equation
K=Ae^(-Ea/RT)
Arrhneius equation (slope form)
lnk=-Ea/R(1/T)+lnA
Arrhenius equation (comparing two rates)
ln(k1/k2)=Ea/R(1/T2-1/T1)
How is the rate law for an overall reaction determined
Based off the slowest elementary step if there are no intermediates, else if intermediates, find a substitute using algebra
Are condensed species considered in rate law equations?
No. Only gases and aqueous matter
When you add a catalyst, does the forward reaction increase? What about the reverse?
Both increase as it has to do with the kinetics, not the equilibrium concentrations
