New cards

what is the rate of reaction?

  • change in concentrations of a reactant or a product per unit timed

2
New cards

does each reactant affect the rate of reaction equally?

  • no each reactant affects the rate of reaction differently, some don’t affect at all

3
New cards

what is the order of a reactant?

  • power to which the concentration of the reactant is raised by in the rate equation

4
New cards

what are the 3 possible for the order of reactant?

  • 0

  • 1

  • 2

5
New cards

what does it mean if a reactant has a 0 order?

  • changing the concentration of the reactants have no affect on the rate of reaction

  • rate equation: rate a [A]0

<ul><li><p>changing the concentration of the reactants have no affect on the rate of reaction</p></li><li><p>rate equation: rate a [A]<sup>0</sup></p></li></ul><p></p>
6
New cards

what does it mean if a reactant has a 1 order?

  • the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactant

  • rate equation : rate a [A]1

<ul><li><p>the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactant </p></li><li><p>rate equation : rate a [A]<sup>1</sup></p></li></ul><p></p>
7
New cards

what does it mean if a reactant has a 2 order?

  • the rate of reaction will equal the concentration of the reactant squared

  • rate equation: rate a [A]2

<ul><li><p>the rate of reaction will equal the concentration of the reactant squared</p></li><li><p>rate equation: rate a [A]<sup>2</sup></p></li></ul><p></p>
8
New cards

what is the formula for rate equation?

  • a[A]x[B]y[C]z

9
New cards

what is the rate equation?

  • Rate = K [A]x [B]y [C]z

10
New cards

how do you work out overall order of a reaction?

  • sum of the individual orders for each reactant

11
New cards

what is the rate constant (k)?

  • the constant that links the rate of reaction with the concentration of the reactants raised to the power of their orders in the rate equation

12
New cards

what is the overall order?

  • the sum of the individuals orders in a reactions equation
