Document Summary
How to speed up or slow down a process. Experimentally measure concentration [a] (or any quantity [a], V (cid:1) rt for a gas) as a function of time t. such as pressure pa = (cid:0)na. Fig k1 get equil value [a]eq at t = . De ne rate or velocity v of reaction (a +ve quantity) by slope at t rate v = d[a] dt could also measure [b] or [c]: note stoichiometry is important v = d[a] dt. In general, no way to predict rates of chemical reactions - must be determined experimentally. Many organic and inorganic reactions take minutes to hours. Experiment involves measuring concentration (or a related quantity) as function of time. For faster reactions: volume of gas, change in optical rotation, change in colour intensity (beer"s law, change in total p = pi pi at constant v for gas-phase reaction (must then relate p to p (one species, etc.
