Rate Law
Rate Law, Reaction Order ?? factors affecting reaction rates?- chemical kinetics?- study of reaction speed physical state of reactants - more collisions >> faster reaction solid surface area increase >> reaction rate increase reactant concentration - higher concentration >> faster reaction temperature - higher temperature >> higher kinetic molecular energy >> more collisions >> faster reaction catalyst - substances that increase reaction rate w/o being used up collisions must include enough energy and correct positioning to lead to reaction average rate = change in concentration / change in time instantaneous rate?- rate at a specific moment in reaction rates tend to decrease as reaction continues initial rate - reaction rate when reaction first begins
