100

Write the predicted rate law for the reaction

1A + 2B + 1C -> 2D + 1E

rate = k[A][B]2[C]

100

Write the overall reaction for the following mechanism:

Step 1: H2O2 + I- -> H2O + OI-

Step 2: H2O2 + OI- -> H2O + O2 + I-

2 H2O2 -> 2 H2O + O2

100

If a chemical reaction proceeds in a sequence of steps, the slowest step is called the

rate-determining step.

100

If the concentration of reactants is increased what happens to the rate

The rate increases

200

An equation that relates reaction rate and concentrations of reactants is called

the rate law.

200

In reactions involving gases, reaction rates increase with these three things

temperature, pressure, concentration

300

Species that appear as reactant and then a product in a subsequent step are known as this

what is a catalyst

300

Rate = k[CHCl3]2[Cl]

If the concentration of CHCl3 doubles while the concentration of Cl2 is kept the same, the rate will 

Quadruple 

300

Write the rate law

Step 1: H2O2 + I- -> H2O + OI-    (slow)

Step 2: H2O2 + OI- -> H2O + O2 + I-   (fast)

400

In a surface reaction, the rate of reaction depends on this

surface area.

400

A temporary union of atoms that forms after reactants have begun reacting but before products have formed is known as a(n)

activated complex.

500

The minimum energy required for an effective collision is called
