Chem Unit 8
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Rate | How fast something is happening |
Products | Substance that is produced in a chemical reaction |
Reactants | Substance that is consumed in a chemical reaction |
Reaction Rate | Change in concentration of reactants or products over time |
Activation Energy | Required to start a chemical reaction |
Collision Theory | Atoms,ions, and/or molecules must collide with each other in order to react |
Concentration | The amount of a given substance conatined within a given volume |
Pressure | Measures concentration of a gas |
Surface Area | More particles are available to collide/react |
Temperature | Measure of average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance |
Catalyst | Increases rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed by the reaction |
Enzyme | A biological(protein) catalyst |
Chemical Equilibrium | State in which the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction, no change in concentration of products or reactants |
Reversible Reaction | A reaction that can occur in both the forward and reverse directions |
Le Chatlelier's Principle | If a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift so as to tend to counteract the stress |
