Term

Reaction Rate

Definition

Definition
A precise, positive quantity, that expresses changes in concentration of reactants and products with time
Term

T/F: Concentrations change at the same rates in a balanced chemical reaction

 

Definition
F: Depends on coefficents in equation
Term
Signs for products and reactants in a balanced chemical equation
Definition

Reactants are negative(-)

Products are positive(+)

Term

Δ[]

 

Change in concentration

Units?

Definition
Moles/L
Term
Units for Reaction Rate
Definition
Ms-1 or moles/Ls
Term
T/F: Rate expression must be determined experimentially
Definition
True
Term
T/F: Rate constant (k) is directly proportional to temperature
Definition
True
Term
Half-Life (t1/2)
Definition
The time required for one half of reactant concentration to form product
Term
ln 2=?
Definition
0.693
Term
Molecular Orientation
Definition
EX: OC---ONO
Term
Activation Energy (Ea)
Definition

  • Minimum energy molecules must possess for effective collisions
  • Transition barrier between reactants and products

Term
Ea Units
Definition
KJ/Mol or J/Mol
Term

ln k2/ln k1=Ea/R (1/T1-1/T2)

R=?

T2=?

Definition

R= 8.31 J/mol

T2= Higher temperature

Term
T/F: Reaction rate constants double with 10º rise in temp
Definition
True
Term

Definition of a

Catalyst

Definition

  • Accelerates reaction rate without being consumed
  • Lowers Ea and increases reaction rate by altering reaction mechanism(or sequence of steps)

Term
T/F: Rate of reaction decreases with time
Definition
True
Term

Purpose of a Catalytic Converter

(In Automobiles)

Definition

Precious metals (Pt,Pd,Rh) catalyze hetereogenous phase reaction

 

                   Automobile--->CO2+N2

Exhaust

Term
Definition of Enzymes:
Definition
Highly specific biomolecules with extraordinary reaction rates, precise structure and size consisting of amino acids
Term

Example of a Enzyme

 

Alcohol Dehydrogenase


Definition

  • Rapid Reaction with Ethanol forming CH3CHO
  • Reacts slowly with Methanol forming HCHO
  • HCHO Reacts with eye-proteins causing blindness
  • Slowly reacts with Ethylene Glycol(Sweet Tasting) BUT, Metabolism forms oxalic acid (poisons kidneys)

Term

Definition of

Reaction Mechanism

Definition
A sequence of steps by which a reaction occurs at a molecular level
Term
Elementary Steps
Definition

Individual steps that constitute a reaction mechanism

 

Ex: Unimolecular- A-->B+C;Rate=k[A]

Bimolecular A+B-->C+D;Rate=k[A][B]

Term
Rate of an Elementary Step=
Definition
k•Concentration of each reactant
Term
Slow Step
Definition
Also called rate determining step; equals overall rate of reaction
Term
Intermediate 
Definition

  • Chemical Substance that is produced and consumed during the reaction
  • NOT expressed in rate expressions or balanced chemical reactions

Term
T/F: Rate expression does not matter about coefficents
Definition
True
Term
ZERO ORDER
Definition

Rate Expression: Rate=k

 

Half Life: t1/2=[A]0/2k

 

Conc. Time Relation: [A]0-[A]=kt

Term
FIRST ORDER
Definition

Rate Expression: Rate=k[A]

 

Half Life: t1/2=0.693/k

 

Conc. Time Relation: ln[A]0-ln[A]=kt

Term
SECOND ORDER
Definition

Rate Expression: Rate=k[A]2

 

Half Life: t1/2=1/k[A]0

 

Conc. Time Relation: 1/[A]-1/[A]0=kt
