- What is an elementary reaction?
- An elementary reaction is a reaction that cannot be decomposed into other reactions.
-
T/F
A complex reaction can be broken down into two or more elementary reactions. - True
- What is an intermediate?
- An intermediate is a complex that appears during the course of a reaction but does not appear in the net reaction, or as a final product.
- What is the rate determining step of a reaction?
- The rate determining step is the slowest step of a reaction.
-
What is the general formula for the rate law of the following reaction?
aA + bB---->cC + dD -
Rate= k[A]^x[B]^y
*remember RATE LAW -
T/F Rate= - change[reactant]/time or
Rate= change [products]/ time -
True
The neg sign indicates loss or reactants -
What is the reaction order for the following rate law?
rate=k[A][B]^2 -
Reaction order =3
x=1 and y=2 therefore x+y= reaction order - Is the rate of a zero order reaction dependant on the concentration of the reactants?
-
No!!
A zero order reaction has a constant rate that is independant of the concentration of reactants. - look at
-
C34 graph....
resume - What is enthaply change of a reaction?
-
Enthalpy change of a reaction is the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants.
products-reactants= change in delta H - How do increasing temperature and reactant concentration affect the rate of reaction?
- Increasing temperature and reactant concentration increase the rate of most reactions.
- Can the medium in which a reaction takes place affect the reaction rate?
- Yes
- How does a catalyst increase reaction rate?
- A catalyst increases the reaction rate by decreasing the Ea.
-
What is the reaction RATE of the following one step reaction?
2A + B----> A2B - Rate=k[A]^2[B]
-
What is the equ' constant expression for the following reation?
A + 3B----> 2C + 2D - Keq = [C]^2[D]^2/ [A][B]^3
- Does Keq for a reaction remain constant at all temperatures?
- No..it is characteristic of a given system at a given temperature.
- Do pure solids and liquids appear in an equ' constant expression?
- No
-
If there is much more product than reactant at equ', what can be said of Keq
(as compared to 1)? -
Keq whould be greater than one
at equ' then is would be close - If Keq is very small compared to 1, then what can be said about the amount of reactants and products at equ'?
- more reactants than productat at equ'
- According to Le Chatelier's Principle, in which direction will equ' shift if products are removed?
- equ will shift to favor the forward reaction.
-
How will increasing the pressure affect the following reaction?
4 mole >< 2 moles -
Increasing pressure will favor the forward reaction. >
Towards side with less -
T/F Increasing the pressure of a system will shift equ' so as to increase the number of moles produced.
*** - False, increasing the pressure will shift equ' so as to produce fewer mole of gas.
-
How will decreasing the temperaure affect the following reaction?
A >< B + heat - Decreasing the temperature will favor the foward direction.
- What happens when you increase the temperature for the same reaction?
- Increasing temperature will favor the reverse reaction.
