Chemical Kinetics

?
A positive number that describes how quickly the concentration
S of the reactants and products change during the reaction.
Rate of Reaction
1 of 10
The rate when the reactants are mixed and the reaction begins (the rate at time, t=0)
Initial rate
2 of 10
The average speed at which the reactants are converted to products during the reaction.
Average rate
3 of 10
The relationship between the rate of reactions and the composition of the reaction mixture.
Rate equation
4 of 10
A positive number that varies with temperature and defines the relationship between the rate of the reaction and the concentrations in the rate equation.
Rate constant
5 of 10
The sum of the powers to which the concentration terms are raised in the equation.
Order of a reaction
6 of 10
The slowest step in the mechanism for the reaction.
Rate determining step
7 of 10
A unstable substance that cannot be isolated as a compound
Transition state
8 of 10
Speeds up a reaction by lowering the activation everyday, and is not consumed by the reaction.
Catalyst
9 of 10
Formed during the reaction and subsequently consumed by the reaction as it proceeds.
Reaction intermediate
10 of 10
