| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Rate of reaction | the change of concentration of reactants or products with time (mol dm-3 s-1) |
| activation energy (Ea) | The kinetic energy to overcome electron cloud repulsion to react |
| steric factor | geometrical alignment |
| Catalyst | Substances that provide an alternative reaction pathway involving a lower activation energy. Not used up in the reaction. |
| Average rate | Gradient between two points |
| Initial rate | Gradient at instantaneous point a 0s |
| Instantaneous rate | Gradient at a point in time |
