chem equilibrium and stuff

        Help!  

Question
Answer
reaction mechanism   a series of steps that leads from reactants to products  
🗑
elementary step   an individual step of a reaction mechanism  
🗑
intermediates   products produced in one step of a reaction that serve as reactants in a later step  
🗑
Collision theory   particles must collide w/ eachother or a wall in order to react  
🗑
effective collision   a collision that leads to the formation of products  
🗑
ineffective collision   collision forms no products  
🗑
factors for effective collisions   orientation of particles & energy of colliding particles  
🗑
what are most collisions?   ineffective  
🗑
activation energy   energy needed for effective collisions, the difference bw energy of the activated complex & reactants  
🗑
chemical kinetics   study of rates @ which reactions occur  
🗑
activated complex   the transition structure when energy level is greatest, unstable  
🗑
things that impact reaction rate   T-the higher, the greater the rate Concentration-inc , inc surface area-inc-inc catalyst-lowers Ea, lower reaction rate inhibitors-raise Ea, slow reaction  
🗑
avg. reaction rate (mols/sec)   change in concentration of reactants or products per time lapsed  
🗑
reaction rate law   equation that relates the reacting rate to the concentration of substances; R=k*(A)^x(b)^y  
🗑
reaction order   reaction concentration exponent  
🗑
overall reaction order   the sum of the reactant orders  
🗑
rate determining step   the slowest elementary step of the reaction mechanism  
🗑
chem. equilibrium   forward rate of reaction=reverse rate of reaction  
🗑
chem. equilibrium law   reversible reactions proceed to equilibrium w/ a specific ratio of product and reactant concentrations  
🗑
if the equilibrium constant is a lot less than 1, what does the reaction favor?   reactants  
🗑
if the equilibrium constant is a lot more than 1. what does the reaction favor?   products  
🗑
Chatelier's principle   when stress is imposed on a system at equilibrium, it will cause the equilibrium to shift in a direction that reduces the stress  
🗑
factors that alter chem equilibrium:   concentration, pressure/volume, T  
🗑
precipitation   the process of aqueous ions reforming a solid  
🗑
dissociation   process of solid separating into aqueous ions  
🗑
solubility equilibrium   chem equilibrium bw a saturated solution of ions and the remaining solid  
🗑
solubility product   product of concentrations of each ion raised to the powers of their coefficients  
🗑
Ion product Q   used to determine if reaction is at equilibrium  
🗑
common ion effect   when 2 solutes share a common ion, you must consider the combined concentrations of the ion  
🗑


   

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.
