Chapter 18 Vocabulary: Reaction Rates and Equilibrium

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
activated complex   The arrangement of atoms at the peak of the activation energy barrier.  
🗑
activation energy (Ea)   The minimum energy colliding particles must have in order to react.  
🗑
transition state   This is what the activated complex is sometimes called.  
🗑
Collision theory   says that atoms, ions, and molecules can form a chemical bond when they collide, provided the particles have enough kinetic energy.  
🗑
catalyst   A substance that increases the rate of a reaction without being used up itself in the reaction.  
🗑
reversible reaction   The reactions in both directions occur simultaneously.  
🗑
chemical equilibrium   This is when the forard and the reverse reactions are taking place at the same time.  
🗑
Le Chatelier's principle   If a stress is applied to a system in a dynamic equilibrium, the system changes to relieve the stress.  
🗑
spontaneous reaction   Naturally favor the formation of products at the specified conditions.  
🗑
nonspontaneous reaction   Do not favor the formation of products at the specified conditions.  
🗑
equilibrium constant (Keq)   The ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations, with each concentration raised to a power given by the number of moles of that substance in the balanced chemical equation.  
🗑
entropy   Of a liquid or solid substance at 25 degrees celcius and 101.3 kPa is designated S^o  
🗑
Reaction Rate   Speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds, in terms of amount of product formed or amount of reactant consumed per unit of time.  
🗑
solubility product constant (Ksp)   Is equal to the product of the concentration terms each raised to the power of the coefficient of the substance in the dissociation equation.  
🗑
enthalpy   The amount of heat that a substance has at a given temperature or pressure.  
🗑
potential energy diagram   shows how energy changes during the course of a chemical reaction.  
🗑


   

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.
