Cards

Term
Chemical kinetics
Definition
The study of the factors that offset reaction rates and the mechanism by which the reaction proceeds
Term
Reaction rate
Definition
How fast a reaction goes from reactant to product
Term
What decreases over time in a reaction?
Definition
Molarity of a reactant
Term
Rate= (product)
Definition
+delta[product]/delta(time)
Term
Rate= (reactant)
Definition
-delta[reactant]/delta(time)
Term
Factors affecting rate of reaction (4)
Definition
Physical state
Concentration
Temperature
Catalysts
Term
In a reaction, what kind of molecules react faster and why?
Definition
Smaller, higher kinetic energy
Term
Which physical state reacts faster and why?
Definition
Gases, higher kinetic energy
Term
Which kind of solids react faster?
Definition
Powdered solids
Term
Which reacts faster and why? Ions or molecules
Definition
Ions, no bonds to break
Term
General rule of concentration and reactions, and why?
Definition
A higher concentration of reactants will cause a faster reaction because there is more molecular contact
Term
Increase in temperature in a reaction
Definition
Increase in reaction speed.
Term
10 C rise in temp causes what?
Definition
Doubled reaction speed
Term
No change in reaction rate
Definition
Zero order reaction
Term
reaction rate formula
Definition
Rate = k[A]^n, where n=0
Term
Reaction rate doubles
Definition
First order reaction, n=1
Term
Reaction rate quadruples
Definition
Second order reaction, n=2
Term
Half-life
Definition
Time it takes for half of its concentration to disappear
Term
Zero order half-life
Definition
Lower concentration, shorter half-life
Term
Second order half-life
Definition
Concentration and half-life inversely proportional
Term
First order half-life
Definition
Half life is independent of concetration
Term
Half life formula, or tv1/2
Definition
ln(2)/k
