Rate Equations

Cards (6)

  • What is zero order?
    Concentration of reactant has no effect on rate of reaction.
  • What is 1st order?
    Rate of reaction proportional to concentration of reactant. If conc. doubles, rate doubles. If conc. triples, rate triples.
  • What is 2nd order?
    Rate proportional to concentration of reactant squared. If conc. doubles, rate quadruples. If conc. triples, rate 9 times faster.
  • What is the overall order of a reaction?
    Sum of all orders.
  • How do you find out orders of reactions & rate equations?
    Through experiments.
  • What happens to rate constant when temperature increased?
    Also increases. This increases reaction rate.
