Kinetics

Question 1

Reaction rate usually depends on…

Answer 1

Concentration of reactants

Question 2

How can we observe/measure rate

Answer 2

pH of products produced, volume of gas produce, time taken for colour change, mass of products produced

Question 3

Rate equation

Answer 3

rate =k[A]^x
[A] is concentration of reactant A in moll^-1, k is rate constant and x is the order of which the reactant is to.

Question 4

Rate of reaction is determined on which step in a reaction mechanism

Answer 4

The slowest one - referred to as the rate determining step.

Question 5

Name for a series of steps that a reaction takes place via

Answer 5

Mechanism

Question 6

What is meant by the order of a reaction?

Answer 6

The number of species in the rate determining step
