| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| chemical kinetics | the area of chemistry that deals with the rate of reactions |
| reaction rate | the change in concentration of a reactant or a product of a chemical reaction per unit time |
| average reaction rate | the change in reactant or product concentration over a given time interval |
| instantaneous reaction rate | the rate of a chemical reaction at a single point in time |
| average reaction rate | the change in reactant or product concentration over a given time interval |
| gas reactions | The rate of reaction between gases is increased by increased pressure. In effect pressure is the gas equivalent of concentration |
| catalyst | a substance that alters the rate of reaction without itself being permanently changed |
| biological catalyst | a catalyst made by a living system |
| heterogenous catalyst | a catalyst in a reaction in which the reactants and catalyst are in different physical states |
| homogenous catalyst | a catalyst in a reaction in which the reactants and the catalyst are in the same physical state |
| rate law | the mathematical expression that allows calculation of reaction rate as a function of reaction concentration |
| rate law equation | the relationship among rate, the rate constant, the intial concentrations of reactants, and the orders of reaction with respect to reactants. |
| order of reaction | the exponent used to describe the relationship between the intial concentration of a particular reactant and the rate of reaction |
| total order of reaction | the sum of the exponents in the rate law equation |
| intial rate | the rate determined right after the reaction begins. |
| Enumerate ways to measure reaction rates | gas volume, color, mass, PH, and electrial conductivity. |
| Factors that affect reaction rate | chemical nature, concentration of reactants (higher pressure=faster reaction higher concentration=faster reaction, surface area (larger=faster reaction), temperature (higher=faster reaction), Prescence of a catalyst. |
| • Pascal: | SI unit for pressure (Pa |
| Barometer | Device used to measure atmospheric pressure |
| Manometer | Device used for measuring the pressure of a gas in a container |
| Boyle’s Law | Pressure and volume are inversely related or inversely proportiona |
| Absolute zero: | Temperature of −273 °C beyond which matter cannot be cooled |
