Rate of Reaction/Equilibrium

• Factors that affect the rate of reaction

  particle size, surface area, temperature, consentration of solute and solvent, catalyst
• What factors have an inversely proportional (one increases while the other decreases) relationship with the rate?

  particle size, surface area, concentration of solute
• What factors are directly proportional with the rate (both increases or decreases)

  temperature and concentration of solvent
• 2 classifications of catalysts

  positive and negative
• if the catalyst is positive then the rate is?

  fast
• if the catalyst is negative then the rate is?

  slow
• Homogeneous

  when the reactants and products are all the same states
• Heterogeneous

  when the reactants and products are different states
• 2 types of reactions

  homogeneous and heterogeneous
• Keq expression

  Product/Reactant
• Keq value

  • 1.0: P and R = concentration
  • more than 1: productive and in equilibrium
  • less than 1: not productive and not in equilibrium
