entropy

a measure of disorder within a system

2
New cards

inhibitor

a substance that interferes with the action of a catalyst

3
New cards

activation energy

the minimum amount of energy particles must have in order to react

4
New cards

reversible reaction

a reaction that can go from the products and produce the reactants that were originally in place

5
New cards

catalyst

a substance that is used to increase the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy barrier

6
New cards

free energy

the energy that is available to do work

7
New cards

activated complex

an unstable arrangement of atoms that briefly exist at the peak of the activation energy barrier

8
New cards

chemical equilibrium

a state of balance in which the forward reaction and the reverse reactions are equal

9
New cards

potential energy diagram

a picture that shows the change in potential energy of a system as reactants are converted into products

10
New cards

forward reaction

reactants are put together to form products
