Reaction rate factors
molecules move faster and bump into each other more often
What is higher temperature?
the forward and reverse reactions are the same.
What is equilibrium?
something from the periodic table
What is an element?
an equation showing the relationship between the rate constant and the concentration of those reactants that affect the rate of reaction.
rate equation
there are more places for molecules to bump into each other
What is more surface area?
the speed of a reaction
What is the rate?
An atom that has lost or gained an electron
What is an ion?
the power to which the concentration of a reactant is raised in the rate equation.
order of reaction
There are more molecules in solution so the chances of a collision are greater
What is higher concentration
If I have a system at equilibrium and add a stress, the system moves to relieve that stress.
What is Le Chatelier's Principle?
You use this to convert grams to moles
What is the molar mass?
the proportionality constant in the rate equation
rate constant
This substances brings to atoms together lowering the energy required for a reaction
What is catalyst?
this term refers to the number of molecules in a solution
What is the concentration?
When a solid changes into a liquid
What is melting?
the time taken for the amount of the limiting reactant in a reaction to decrease to half its value
half life
This substance interferes with a reaction happening
What is an inhibitor
Term that means 6.022 x 1023 atoms
What is a mole?
A change in appearance where the substance stays the same
What is a physical change?
the slowest step in a reaction mechanism
rate determining step
