(106 cards)
can you predict product properties based on reactant properties ?
no (they emergent not a mix)
if ΔG is positive, which way does the reaction go ?
negative ?
+ = forward
- = reverse
what reactions are fast ?
slow ?
which goes to completion ?
- acid-base reactions
- iron rusting
- slow
average reaction rate formula ?
Δx / Δt
Δx like (final-initial)
are reactions inherently positive or negative ?
which one is negative ?
- positive (reverse reaction)
- forward reaction
SOLVE: avg rate:
2N2O5 –> 4NO2 + O2
how does…
N2O5 disappear ?
NO2 appear ?
O2 appear ?
(-1/2 (ΔN2O5) / Δt) = 1/4 (ΔNO2 / Δt) = (ΔO2 / Δt)
2x as fast as O2 appears, half as fast as NO2 appears
4x as fast as O2 appears
1/4 as fast as NO2 appears, 1/2 as fast as N2O5 appears
what is the equation for rate law ?
k [A]^x [B]^y
when finding reaction order, what trials should be picked ?
those where wanted changes and other is constant
what are the steps to find the reaction order ?
overall order ?
- pick trials
- do one element first: final/initial then its R (final/initial)
- what exponent is needed for the answer for A (or B etc) to equal the answer of R
- exponent = order
overall is just order of the A + B
How to find k from a rate law ?
just plug it in and solve
What are the units for k when reaction order is…
0 ?
1 ?
2 ?
3 ?
4 and etc ?
M/s
1/s
1/Ms
1/M^2s
1/M^3s
what order is: ln[A]t = -kt + ln[A]0 ?
what does the -kt mean ?
1
negative slope
what order is: [A]t = -kt + [A]0 ?
what does the -kt mean ?
0
negative slope
what order is: 1/[A]t = kt + 1/[A]0 ?
what does the kt mean ?
2
positive slope
What part of the rate law is temperature dependent ?
only k
what is the transition state/activated complex ?
what is the KE there ?
highest point on graph
lowest
can Ea be negative ?
nope
if the reaction has reactants higher than products…
in the forward reaction:
what is the ΔH ?
which bonds are weaker ?
ΔH- (exothermic)
bonds broken
What factors raise/affect rate ? why ? (4)
- temperature: higher temperature means more KE (more energy to overcome activation energy) = more collisions
- SA: more means more space for particles to attach
- concentration of reactants
- catalyst: reduces activation energy without being used up
are all collision effective ?
no, they need to:
- collide
- in right direction
- with enough energy to overcome barrier
are cold reactions slow or fast ? why ?
slow
only a small fraction of molecules had sufficient KE to form activation complex
are hot reactions slow or fast ? why ? what happens to products ? Ea ?
fast
a larger fraction of molecules had sufficient KE to form activation complex (KE>Ea)
increase products
decrease Ea
the arrhenius equation tells us that when temperature increases what happens to k ? when Ea increases ?
increases
decreases
what is the rate determining step ?
that with the highest Ea
