Module 6: Chemical Kinetics Flashcards
(48 cards)
Study of the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions
chemical kinetics
deals with the absorption, distribution metabolism, and exclusion of drugs from biological systems
pharmacokinetics
driven by reactants and products that in some cases are thermodynamically stable, yet or slow to proceed
Chemical reactions
this type of chemical reaction occur in one phase
homogenous reaction
this type of chemical reaction involves substances in two or more phases
Heterogeneous reactions
change in concentration over by necessary for our reaction to take place
Reaction rate
deals with the speed at which the concentration of either the reactant or the product changes over a specified time
Reaction rate
The whole of the act always ______ overtime to yield the desired product
decreases
the rate of the composition of the reactants must be equal to the rate of
formation of products
it refers to the change in the concentration of either the reactant or the product at any particular time
Instantaneous rate of reaction
The instant rate of the action can be determined by
obtaining the slope of the tangential line drawn in the concentration curve at the given time
this refers to the rate at the start of the reaction (t = 0)
Initial rate of the reaction
rates of your reactions are measured based on the
Change in concentration of a substance
this entail measuring a physical property of the reactants or products overtime
Physical method
requires the use of analytical equipment
chemical methods
at every withdrawal of the sample, the reaction is allowed to slow down by the addition of a
Catalyst or by dilution of the reaction system
it is performed by mixing the reactants in a closed vessel
Static method
by allowing the reactants to flow into a vessel and letting the products flow out of the vessel
flow method
The flow method is widely used in
Industrial applications
this factor directly affects the rate of the reaction, which will be taken into consideration in the discussion of rate laws
Concentration of the reactants
The rate of chemical acts generally increase with an increase in
temperature
he established the relationship of temperature with the rate of reaction through the equation and when did he establish this
Svante Arrhenius, 1889
greater activation energy, the _______ the dependence of the reaction rate on changes in temperature
Stronger
higher activation energy is reflective of a
Slow chemical reaction
