What is reaction rate?
The speed of a chemical reaction
What is Chemical Kinetics?
the area of chemistry concerned with the speed at which reactions occur
What is endothermic reactions?
when the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants
What is activation energy?
the energy needed to start a reaction.
What is rate law?
it shows how the rate of a reaction depends on the concentration of the reactants
What is activated complex?
When two molecules have an effective collision, a temporary, high energy (unstable) chemical species is formed
Why were 50 points taken from Gryffindor?
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were caught out of bed by Professor McGonagall
Define heterogeneous catalyst
they hold one reactant molecule in proper orientation for reaction to occur when the collision takes place
what does the graph show?
an exothermic reaction with and without a catalyst.
In a reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen monoxide, doubling the concentration of hydrogen quadruples the rate, while doubling the concentration of nitrogen monoxide doubles the rate.
Write the rate law for this reaction.
k[H₂]²[NO]
