Overall Reaction
H₂ + 2 ICl -> I₂ + 2 HCl
Rate Law
Rate = k [H₂][ICl]
Elementary Step 1
H₂ + ICl -> HI + HCl
Elementary Step 2
HI + ICl -> I₂ + HCl
Intermediates
Substances that are produced in one elementary step and consumed in another.
Bimolecular Reaction
A reaction that involves two reactants.
Half-Life Calculation
The time required for the concentration of a reactant to decrease to half its initial value.
Final Concentration Calculation
The final concentration after a given time based on initial concentration and rate constants.
Rate Determining Step
The slowest elementary step in a reaction mechanism which determines the rate of the overall reaction.
Second Order Reaction
A reaction whose rate depends on the square of the concentration of one reactant or the product of the concentrations of two reactants.
Straight Line Plot
A plot of concentration vs. time that reflects a zero-order reaction.
