Rate constant
Coefficient K, independent of the concentrations taking part in the reation

Quantifies the speed of the reaction
Rate law
Is an equation that expresses the rate of reaction in terms of the molar concentration in the overall reaction
Isolation Method
All the reactants are in excess except one
Order of Reaction
Is the exponent to when its concentration term in the rate equation if raised for individual components, or the sum of individual reactants for the whole equation

Could be zero, negative or fractional
Activation energy
Minimum energy particles are required to react
Reaction Mechanism
Step by step process of reactions by which an overall chemical change occurs
Chemical Kinetics
Involves the rate of reactions to form products from reactants and the elementary steps for reactions to take place
Ways to measure the rate of a reaction...
pressure measurements
spectrometry
conductivity measurement
pH measurement
polarimetry
Stoichiometry is
concentration of reactants and products
Reaction rate
Number of moles of reaction per unit time
How can the instantaneous rate be determined?
Graph of concentration against time
Why is it more beneficial to use an integrated rate method rather than an initial rate method?
Initial rate method does not tell us about the whole course of the reaction
What are elementary reactions?
Many reactions which occur in a series of steps
