What is the rate law for zero order kinetics
rate = k
What is the rate law for first order kinetics
rate = k[A]
What is the rate law for second order kinetics
rate = k[A]^2
What is the integrated rate law for zero order kinetics
[A] = [A]0 - kt
What is the integrated rate law for first order kinetics
[A] = [A]0e^-kt
What is the integrated rate law for second order kinetics
1/[A] = 1/[A]0 + kt
What do rate laws tell us
how the rate depends on the concentration
What does integrated rate laws tell us
how the concentration depends on time
What does arrhenius’ law describe
Arrhenius’ Law describes how the rate of a chemical reaction depends on temperature and activation energy.
What does collisions theory describe
Collision theory describes that for a reaction to occur, particles must collide with enough energy and the right orientation.
What is transition state theory
Transition State Theory models reactions as going through a high-energy “bottleneck” (the transition state), and calculates reaction rates based on how hard it is to cross that energy barrier
What is molecularity
Molecularity refers to the number of reactant molecules involved in a single elementary step of a chemical reaction.
