AP Chem 5- Kinetics

Front

If the temperature is reduced, what happens to the reaction rate?

Back

The reaction rate will decrease.

Front

What order is a reaction if quadrupling the concentration results in a quadrupled rate?

Back

First order.

Front

What type of reaction absorbs heat?

Back

Endothermic.

Front

What type of reaction releases heat?

Back

Exothermic.

Front

What is the rate law for the reaction A + A --> B + B?

Back

rate = k[A]^2.

Front

Which step of a reaction mechanism determines the rate?

Back

The slow step.

Front

What is the effect of increasing concentration on reaction rate?

Back

Generally, increasing concentration increases the reaction rate.

Front

What is the effect of a catalyst on a reaction?

Back

A catalyst increases the reaction rate without being consumed.

Front

Define activation energy.

Back

The minimum energy required for a reaction to occur.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and reaction rate?

Back

Generally, as temperature increases, the reaction rate increases.
