Document Summary

Industrial syntheses-environmental reactions (e. g. , smog formation, ozonelayer breakdown) (2) monitor biological or chemical systems: Structure/function relationships (e. g. rate vs. leaving group ability in sn2) (4) tell the temperature: The rate of a chemical reaction: average rate = 1 m / 1 min. time (min) The rate of a chemical reaction (2: rates are always positive. put a negative sign in front of [a]: (3: stoichiometry is important: The rate of a chemical reaction: in general: aa + bb . gg + hh (6, 14. 5) (7, 14. 2, key concepts: Measuring reaction rates: the food colouring expt showed that rate can change during a reaction, many reactions could give an average rate of 1 m/min for. 2. 0 time (min: average rate = 1 m/min over 1 min for all 3 curves, average rate provides limited information. The exact reaction rate at a defined time: v = tangent to the line when plotting [g] vs. time.
