CHEM 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Reagent, Chemical Kinetics, Reaction Rate
Document Summary
Chemical kinetics: the area of chemistry concerned with reaction rates and the sequence of steps by which reactions occur. Reaction rate: either the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time or the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time. **** ionic that are dissolved will be fast reactions. The increase of the concentration of a reactions will increase the rate of the reaction. ****double a concentration of a reactant will double the rate of a reaction. ****if you add a catalyst the reaction rate will increase. A + b c rate= k[a][b] As temperature increases, the rate will increase. ***there will be more collisions and more affected ones. Minimum energy required to initiate a chemical reaction. They increase the rate of a reaction by decreasing the activation energy of the reaction. They change the mechanism by which the process occurs.
