100

What is “k”?

What is The rate constant 
100

How do you find the overall rate order for a reaction?

What is Add all exponents/orders

Which order (zero, first, second) is present when the rate doesn’t change and concentration doubles/triples/etc.?

What is Zero order

100

What is the zero order integrated rate equation ([A]t = ?)

What is [A]t = -kt + [A]i

200

What is chemical kinetics the study of?

What is The rate or speed at which a reaction occurs
200

What is the basic “instant rate” equation (Rate = ?)

What is Rate = k[A]x[B]y

200

What is the overall rate order for Rate = k[N2O5]1?

What is First order
200

Which order (zero, first, second) is present when the rate is squared and the concentration doubles, triples, etc.?

What is Second order

200

What is the first order integrated rate equation (ln[A]t = ?)

What is ln[A]t = -kt + ln[A]i

300

What is the relationship between temperature and energy/speed?

What is Direct (the higher the temperature, the higher the energy/speed

300

What is the basic rate equation for a zero order reaction (Rate = ?)

What is Rate = k[A]0

300

What is the overall rate order for Rate = k[H2]1[I2]1

What is Second order

300

Which order (zero, first, second) is present when the rate matches concentration and they both double, triple, etc.?

What is First order

300

What is the second order integrated rate equation (1/[A]t = ?)

What is 1/[A]t = kt + 1/[A]i

400

If “k” is a larger number, is the reaction faster or slower?

What is Faster reaction

400

What is the basic rate equation for a first order reaction (Rate = ?)

What is Rate = k[A]1

400

What is the overall rate order for Rate = [A]0[B]1[C]2

What is Third order

400

Consider the following reaction:

NH4 + NO2 = N2 + 2H20

When observing experimental data, when NH4 doubles, the initial rate doubles, and NO2 is held constant. Rewrite the general rate law with appropriate reactants and exponents.

What is Rate = k[NH4]1[NO2]1​​​​
400

What is the zero order half-life equation?

What is [A]i / 2k

500

What are three factors that affect reaction rate?

What is concentration, temperature, catalyst, pressure, state, and/or mixing

500

What is the basic rate equation for a second order reaction (Rate = ?)

What is Rate = k[A]2
500

What is the overall rate order for Rate = k[CHCl3]1[Cl2]2

What is Third order

500

Consider the following reaction:

Rate = k[NO]^x[Cl]^y

When observing experimental data, [Cl2] is constant while [NO] doubles, and the rate quadruples.Observing more experimental data, [NO] is constant, while [Cl2] doubles, and the rate doubles. Rewrite the rate law with the appropriate exponents.

What is Rate = k[NO]2[Cl]1

500
