Define rate of reaction and give units
The change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit time
Units: mol dm^-3 s^-1
How can a reaction take place?
Collisions between particles must have more energy than activation energy
How to measure reaction rate
Draw a tangent on the concentration time graph and measure the gradient (which gives the rate)
Define initial rate of reaction
The change in concentration of a reactant, or product, per unit time at the start of the reaction when t=0
How to measure reaction rates
Acids or bases: measure pH changes by pH meter or titration
Production of gases: the change in volume or pressure or loss of mass of reactants
Visual changes: formation of precipitate or colour changes
Formula for gradient
Change in y / change in x
Define order
The power to which the concentration of a reactant is raised in the rate equation
Define rate constant, k
The constant that links the rate of reaction with the concentrations of the reactants raised to the powers of their orders in the rate equation
Define half life
The time taken for the concentration of the reactant to reduce by half
Half life and orders
Zero order: half life decreases with time
First order: half life is constant
Second order: half life increases with time
Zero order
First order
Second order
Rate concentration graphs allow you to determine
Orders with respect to reactants
Zero order: rate is unaffected by changes in concentration
First order: rate increases by same amount as concentration
Rate increases by order squared
Measuring initial rate of reaction
Measuring the time for a certain amount if product to be formed: a clock reaction.
Keep one reactant constant and change the other one - then repeat the other way round
Initial rate is proportional to 1/t
The rate constant, k
Fast reaction has a large k
Slow reaction has a small k
Effect of temperature on rate constant
Rate constant increases with increasing temperature, usually exponentially
The rate determining step definition
The slowest step in the reaction mechanism of a multi step reaction
Rate equations and rate determining step
Reactants in the rate equation MUST be in the rate determining step
Then balance by producing two equations, usually with an intermediate (formed in one step of the multi step reaction but used up in subsequent steps)

Problems involving Kc
Write out Kc equation
Draw a table with initial, final and equilibrium moles
Work out final moles of one substance (initial-equilibrium)
Use reaction ratio to work out other final amounts, then subtract from initial to get equilibrium moles.
Divide by volume to get concentration

Changes in concentration
If the concentration of a reactant or product is altered, then system is no longer in equilibrium. So equilibrium must shift to restore Kc value.
By increasing unchanged concentration and decreasing changed concentration.
