- Rate law, general equation...
-
Rate = k([A]^x)([B]^y)([C]^z)
A,B, and C are REACTANTS - Reaction rate .....with increasing concentration of reactants because....
-
Increases
if there are more reactant molecules moving around in a given volume, then more collisions will occur - Reaction rate...... with increasing temperature because...
-
Increases
increase in temp means molecules move faster and greater avg kinetic energy. - Intermediates
- appear in mechanism but cancels out of the balanced equation
- Rate determining step is...
- the slowest step
- K(eq) =?
- K(f)/K(r)
-
first order:
x axis...
y axis...
slope... -
x axis...time
y axis...ln[A]
slope...-k - zero order half life?
- = [A]0/2k
-
zero order:
x axis...
y axis...
slope... -
x axis...time
y axis...[A]t
slope...-k - first order half life?
- = .693/k
-
Second order:
x axis...
y axis...
slope... -
x axis...time
y axis...1/[A]o
slope...k - half life of second order?
- = 1/(k[A]o)
- Arrhenius Equation
- k = Ae^(-Ea/RT)
- from the arrhenius equation, or from the graph
-
lnk = (-Ea/R)(1/T) + lnA
where, on the graph, it is lnk versus 1/T (x-axis) with a slope of -Ea/R - Collision Theory
-
Sufficient kenetic/activation energy
and...proper orientation
