This formula allows you, if the rate constant is known, to find a concentration or allows you, if the concentration is known, to find the rate constant at ANY throughout the reaction.
rate expression
the time required for something to fall to half its initial value (in particular, the time for half the atoms in a radioactive substance to disintegrate)

In these reactions the reactants are high and the products are low
In these reactions the reactants are low and the products are high
The highly unstable state that will only proceed to produce products if enough energy is provided in collisions and if the collisions occur the right way.
How do you increase rate?
Compound that is involved in the elementary steps of a reaction, but doesn't appear in the overall reaction.
If given the reaction 2A + 3B --> C, the rate law of this elementary step is ...
Lowers activation energy, but is not used up in the reaction.
Rate Determining Reaction is the ______ Elementary Step.
