Document Summary

Rate of a chemical reaction- how fast the reaction occurs (m*s) Initial, average, and instantaneous rates: average rate- any two points of time on the graph, instantaneous rate- slope of the tangent line at a certain point. Rate refers to the initial rate: depends on concentration and temperature, the reactant concentration decreases with time b/c they are consumed, the product concentration increases with time b/c products are formed. 13. 3 the rate law: the effect of concentration on reaction rate. Rates are proportionately related to state of matter, temperature, and concentration. Rate law: rate = k[a]m[b]n: the exponents can only be 0-3, units for k is determined after the rate law is solved. Overall reaction order- the sum of the reaction orders (the exponents: 2 = second order. **the order of a reaction and rate law can only be determined by experiment. 13. 4 the integrated rate law: the dependence of concentration on time.
