Rate-determining step and Rate constants and temperature

The rate equation only includes what?

Reacting species involved in the rate determining step

The orders in the rate equation match the number of what?

Species involved in the rate-determining step

If a reactant isn’t present in the rate equation, what does this mean?

It isn’t present in the rate determining step

What is the Arrhenius equation?

How can the Arrhenius equation be expressed as a logarithmic relationship?

Ln k = -Ea/RT + lnA

The logarithmic form of the Arrhenius equation enables what?

Ea and A to be determined graphically

A plot of lnk against 1/T gives a straight line graph

How can the Arrhenius equation be use to plot a graph?

Does increasing the temperature increase the rate constant?

Yes, assuming the concentration of reactants remain unchanged

As the rate of reaction increases, the rate constant will increase
