Arrhenius etc

what is the relationship between ln k and T?

Arrhenius graph

intercept? gradient?

what is the collision theory equation in words?

rate = rate of collisions x fraction of collisions with enough E to react

what is rate of collisions related to?

size of molecules and it is weakly temperature dependent

what do the different terms in Arrhenius equation relate to?

which collisions result in reactions (diagram)?

what is P in collision theory equation?

steric factor, accounts for orientation effects

• assumed that not all collisions with sufficient energy result in product formation

transition state theory equilibrium

where is transition state on energy profile?

why doesn’t catalysis alter POE?

lowers activation energy for both forward and backward reactions (speeds up rate)

how to calculate K from rate coefficients?

rate of forwards and backwards reactions are equal

on an energy profile, where is Ea reverse?
