Document Summary
Can be applied for a product and/or reactant depending on what is. Reaction rate: defined as a positive value. The rate of reaction for reactants get a negative sign when compared to the rate for the products because its change is negative. Double negative equals a positive: specific to a balanced equation (stoichiometry dependent) Rate of formation and rate of disappearance: stoichiometry independent, not always equal to the reaction rate. In general (cid:1853)(cid:1827)+(cid:1854)(cid:1828) (cid:1856)(cid:1830)+(cid:1857)(cid:1831: reaction rate is [(cid:3002)](cid:3028) = [(cid:3003)] Four factors effect the rate of reaction (cid:3029) = [(cid:3005)](cid:3031) = [(cid:3006)](cid:3032) : concentration. Higher concentration leads to faster reactions: physical state. More finely divided reactants react the faster: temperature. Higher temperature leads to higher reaction rates: catalysts. (cid:1853)(cid:1857)=[(cid:1827)](cid:3040)[(cid:1828)](cid:3041: k is the rate constant at a given temperature, always positive, m and n are the order of reaction with respect to a and b. M and n are not always whole numbers.
