Prelab 12: Rate Properties of an Iodide Solution Chemical Kinetics ? The study of rates of chemical processes Rate of a Chemical Reaction ? Measure of how the concentration or pressure of the involved substances changes with time Overall Reaction Order ? If more than one reactant is present in the reaction, the sum of the exponents is the overall reaction order. Rate Constant ? The coefficient that precedes the concentrations in a simple reaction Activation Energy ? Energy that must be overcome before a chemical reaction can occur Stoichiometric coefficient ? The degree at which a chemical species participates in the reaction PRELAB QUESTIONS:
