New cards

What is meant by the order of a reaction?

The power of concentration term in a rate equation

2
New cards

What is zero order? (1)

- As the concentration of reactants changes, the rate remains the same

3
New cards

What is first order? (1)

As the concentration of reactants changes by a factor, the rate changes by the same factor

4
New cards

What is second order? (1)

As the concentration of reactants changes by a factor, the rate increases by that factor squared

5

8
New cards

Which reactants will not have appear in rate equation? (1)

Those that don't have an effect on the rate of reaction (zero order)

9
New cards

Write the general rate equation (3)

10
New cards

What is the overall order? (1)

Sum of all orders i.e. m+n

11
New cards

What is the slowest stage in a reaction mechanism called? (1)

The rate determining step

12
New cards

What is the relationship between the reaction mechanism and the rate equation? (1)

The steps up to and including the rate-determining step contain the same species as those shown in the rate equation, in the correct ratio.

13
New cards

What is the rate constant k? (1)

Relates the reactant concentrations to the rate at a particular temperature

14
New cards

What is the relationship between rate and k? (2)

- As rate increases, the value of k also increases

- This relationship is described by arrhenius equation

15
New cards

State the Arrhenius equation (4)
