Q

factors that affect the rate: concentration

A

-increasing the concentration of a solution allows more molecules to react
-increasing the concentration of gases increases the number of molecules reacting and increases the partial pressure of the gas

Q

factors that affect the rate: temperature

A

-most significant factor that affects reaction rate
-increasing temperature increases the movement of reactants and applies force when they collide
-temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy
-for most chemical reactions, raising the temperature 10 degrees C, will double the rate of reaction

25
Q

reaction rate=

A

K[A]^x[B]^y

26
Q

reaction order

A

the power that the concentration of each reactant is raised to that indicates that reactant’s effect on reaction rate

27
Q

reaction order requirements

A

-must be determined experimentally
-initial rates data must be used

28
Q

initial reaction rate

A

rate at the beginning of a chemical reaction when concentrations of reactants are highest

29
Q

zero order

A

when the concentration of the reactant is doubled, there is no effect on reaction rate

30
Q

1st order

A

when the concentration of the reactant is doubled, the reaction rate doubles

31
Q

2nd order

A

when the concentration of the reactant is doubled, the reaction rate quadruples

32
Q

overall reaction order

A

sum of the reaction orders of all the reactants in a reaction

33
Q

rate constant(k)

A

proportionality constant that relates the reaction rate to the concentration of the reactants

34
Q

k requirements

A

-must be determined using experimental data
-specific for a chemical reaction
-the units for k depend on the reaction order of the reactants
-changing concentrations of reactants has no change on the value of k
-determined at a specific temperature
-adding a catalyst increases k
