Document Summary

Chemical kinetics the area of chemistry that concerns reaction rates. Rate the cha(cid:374)ge i(cid:374) a gi(cid:448)e(cid:374) (cid:395)ua(cid:374)tity o(cid:448)e(cid:396) a specific ti(cid:373)e (cid:894) []/ t(cid:895) Reaction rate the change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit of time (tends to be a positive number therefore for reactants the equation is actually - []/ t(cid:895) Rates might change but one can always find an average rate. In the above equation, one must be careful when choosing whether to find the rate of a decomposition, b production or c production. They will not all yield the same rate. Types of rate laws: differential rate law the more common one, a rate law that expresses how the rate depends on concentration. Integrated rate law expresses how the concentrations depend on time: once you know one, you know the other one. 15. 3 determining the form of the rate laws. First order is when n = 1.
