-
what determines the value of hte rate constant?
collision energy x collision frequency x collision orientation
-
Explain collision frequency.
- temp
- concentration (for gas, increase P, decrease volume)
-
Explain collision energy
molecular weight and temp
-
Explain Collision orientation
directionality
-
Typically, as the temperature increases, what happens to the rate
it increases
-
True or False:
The rate constant is independent of the temperature.
-
Collision theory
As the average kinetic energy increases, the average molecular speed increases, and thus the collision frequency increases as well as the energy of collisions
-
transition state
The configuration of atoms at the maximum in the potential energy profile. This is also called the activated complex
-
If the catalyst is involved in the rate determining step, what?
it will appear in the rate law
