Question
Answer
Define the collision theory   When two chemicals react, their molecules have to collide with each other with proper energy and orientation  
🗑
What is the probability that two molecules will react?   The chance of the collision in the proper orientation with the proper energy is about 1/2.  
🗑
Will five molecules in the same equation ever react in one step?   No, the probability is almost impossible!  
🗑
What are elementary steps?   Series of smaller steps that eventually lead to the overall reaction.  
🗑
Define intermediates   Species that are created during the elementary steps of the reaction, but are not a part of the overall reaction. They are products, and they are consumed as reactants immediately.  
🗑
What are catalysts?   Catalysts speed up chemical reactions by decreasing the activation energy required. They are reactants, and they come out as products in the overall reaction.  
🗑
Reaction mechanisms are the ones that determine the rate law because they are   slow  
🗑
What is activation energy?   The amount of energy required to initiate a chemical reaction. In exothermic reactions, the overall will be greater than the initial, and in endothermic, it will be less than the activation energy.  
🗑
Zero order reactions are not dependent on   concentration  
🗑
The graph for zero order reactions are:   rate=k (-k)  
🗑
In second order reactions if the concentration doubles the rate will   quadruple or do the square of what the concentration did  
🗑
The graph for second order reactions are:   t vs. 1/(A) and the slope= k  
🗑
In first order reactions if the concentration doubles the rate will   double  
🗑
The graph for first order reactions are:   t vs. ln(A) and the slope is -k  
🗑
What equation will be used to find the activation energy?   Arrhenius' Equation  
🗑
Which factors affect the rate?   Temperature, surface area, concentration, the use of catalysts, if the compound is ionic, or if it is in aqueous form  
🗑
How are rate laws determined (experimentally or theoretically)?   Using experimental data, so experimentally  
🗑
Why do ionic substances react faster?   They break into ions, unlike covalent substances  
🗑
How do you determine the overall reaction order?   Add all the exponents of the orders together for the overall  
🗑
Write the rate law for a first order reaction using A and B, if the rate doubles when A is doubled, and the rate stays the same when B doubles   rate= k(A)^1(B)^0  
🗑
Write the basic steps used to find slopes in a calculator   1. Stat, Edit 2. Enter Data 3. Stat, Calc 4. LinearRegression  
🗑
The rate law graphs correspond to which easy, and famous graph?   Linear graphs y= mx +b  
🗑
What are unimolecular reactions?   When only one molecule is reacting.  
🗑
What are bimolecular reactions?   When two molecules are reacting.  
🗑
What are termolecular reactions?   When three molecules are reacting.  
🗑
Why are termolecular reactions uncommon?   The chances of two molecules reacting are only 1/2, three are even less than that.  
🗑
Is 2NO + O a bimolecular or termolecular reaction?   Termolecular because there are three molecules in total. The coefficient must be accounted for.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
