Question
Answer
The rate of reaction must be...   positive (thats why need negative sign in front of equation)  
🗑
In RXn, the reactant concentration....   decreases with time because reactants are consumed  
🗑
In RXn, the product concentration...   increases with time because products are formed.  
🗑
average rate of rxn _______ as progresses   decreases  
🗑
For most reactions, the rate depends on the...   concentrations of the reactants  
🗑
what is n in the rate law equation?   the reaction order  
🗑
if n = 0, .....   reaction order is zero; rate is independent of the concentration of A  
🗑
if n= 1,....   reaction order is first order; rate directly proportional to concentration of A  
🗑
if n=2, .....   reaction is second order; rate is proportional to the square of the concentration of A  
🗑
Zero order reaction: concentration of reactant...   decreases linearly with time; the rate is constant because the reaction does not slow down as the concentration of A decreases.  
🗑
First order reaction: concentration of reactant...   is directly proportional to the rate of reaction; rate slows down as reaction proceeds because the concentration of reactant decreases.  
🗑
Second order reaction, the rate of reaction is..   proportional to the square of the concentration of the reactant; the rate is even more sensitive to reactant concentration and slope of curve flattens out more quickly than in first-order  
🗑
DETERMINING THE ORDER OF A REACTION   the order of a reaction can be determined only by experiment. A common way to determine reaction order is by the method of initial rates.  
🗑
initial rate-   the rate for a short period of time at the beginning of the reaction  
🗑
in a first order reaction, the value of the rate consta,t k, can be determined by   solving the rate law for k and substituting the concentration and initial rate from any of the one of three measurements  
🗑
For a zero-order reaction, the initial rate is   the same at all measured initial concentrations  
🗑
for a second-order reaction, the initial rate ...   quadruples for a doubling of the reactant concentration  
🗑
the integrated rate law for a chemical reaction is a relationship between   concentrations of reactants and time  
🗑
the half life of a reaction(t 1/2)   time required for the concentration of the reactant to fall to one-half of its initial value  
🗑
half life of first order reaction:   t 1/2= 0.693/ k; so, k = 0.693/ (t 1/2)  
🗑
shorter half life=   larger k  
🗑
collision theory: how will increasing concentration affect the rate of chemical reaction?   increase rate of rxn, increase # of colisions between reactant molecules  
🗑
collision theory: how will increasing the temperature affect the rate of chemical reaction?   increease rate of rxn, increase frequency of collisions, increase kinetic energy w/ which they collide, resulting in greaterfraction of collsions producing product  
🗑
collision theory: how will addition of a catalyst affect the rate of chemical reaction?   increase rate of rxn, alters rxn pathway, lower activation enerygy for new reaction pathway  
🗑
Advantages of nuclear power   1) no CO2 produced 2) not dependent on foreign oil 3) a lot of energy from small amount of fuel  
🗑
Disadvantages of nuclear power   1) waste is radioactive for a long time 2) accidents can release radioactivity 3) fuel could be diverted for weapons  
🗑
what is a PET scan work?   uses radiation, or nuclear medicine imaging, to produce 3-dimensional, color images of the functional processes within the human body. PET stands for positron emission tomography.  
🗑
how does a pet scan work?   The machine detects pairs of gamma rays which are emitted indirectly by a tracer (positron-emitting radionuclide) which is placed in the body on a biologically active molecule. The images are reconstructed by computer analysis  
🗑
A PET scan uses __________________ that naturally emit ____________________ which interact with __________________   radioactive isotope; positrons; a nearby negatively charged electron  
🗑
why is radon hazardous?   it decays to 218 Po which is a solid and alpha emitter. If radon decays while in the lungs, it leaves a solid alpha-emitter behind which will continue to emit radiation  
🗑
when 131/53I undergoes beta decay, it becomes..   131/54 Xe  
🗑
with beta decay, bottom number..   increases by 1  
🗑
with alpha decay..   top number 4 less, bottom number 2 less  
🗑
