Question
Answer
collision theory   atoms, ions, and molecules can react to form products when they have collided, provided that the particles have enough KE  
🗑
reaction properties   particles collide enough KE right orientation  
🗑
activation energy   minimum amount of energy particles must have to react  
🗑
activated complex/transition state   arrangement of atoms at peak of activation energy  
🗑
rate   measures the speed of any change that occurs within an interval of time  
🗑
rate equation   x y Rate=[reactant] [reactant]  
🗑
factors affecting reaction rates   temperature: higher temps = faster rates concentration: higher concentration = faster rates  
🗑
catalysts   substance that increases rate of reaction without being used up by allowing the reaction to occur at lower temps  
🗑
inhibitor   substance that interferes with the actions of the catalyst; slows reaction  
🗑
reversible reaction   reaction occur simultaneously in both directions  
🗑
equilibrium   forward and reverse reaction occurs at the same rate and the same time  
🗑
le chateliers principle   is stress is applied to a system in equilibrium, the system changes to relieve that stress  
🗑
equilibrium constant(Keq)   ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations at equilibrium with each concentration raised to the power equal to their coefficients  
🗑
Keq > 1   product favored  
🗑
Keq < 1   reactant favored  
🗑
Keq   used for any reactions  
🗑
Ka   used for acids  
🗑
Kb   used for bases  
🗑
Ksp   solubility product(for things that are dissolving in solutions)  
🗑
Kp   used when pressure is used instead of concentration  
🗑
Kc   used when concentration in used  
🗑
rate laws   expressions relating rate of reaction to concentration of reactants  
🗑
K   specific rate constant  
🗑
[]   molar concentration  
🗑
P and Q   determined experimentally (usually 0, 1, 2)  
🗑
free energy   energy available to do work  
🗑
spontaneous reaction   reaction that occurs naturally and favors formation of products at specific conditions  
🗑
non-spontaneous reaction   reaction that doesn't favor the formation of products at specified conditions  
🗑
entropy   measure of disorder of a system; influences spontaneity of reaction  
🗑
particle size   smaller particles = more surface area = faster rates  
🗑
reactant form products   forward reaction  
🗑
products form reactant   reverse 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.
