Rates of Reaction Flashcards
1
Q
State what is meant by the term ‘rate of reaction’
A
The change of concentration in a given time
2
Q
Give the rate equation
A
Rate = k [A]^z x [B]^w
Where z = order for reaction for reactant A
w = order of reaction for reactant B
k = rate constant
3
Q
Describe what first order would look like on a graph
A
A straight, diagonal line going from the bottom left corner to the top right
4
Q
Describe what zero order would look like on a graph
A
A flat, straight line
5
Q
Describe what second order would look line on a graph
A
A curved line from bottom left to top right
Rate increasing
