kinetics |
is the study of reaction rates and of the mechanisms, or bond breaking and making processes |
|
rate equation |
shows the mathematical relationship between the individual reactant concentrations and the reaction rate. |
|
reaction order |
the relationship between increasing reactant concentrations and the reaction rate increasing or decreasing is expressed as an exponential term refers to what? |
|
rate constant |
is a proportionality constant that varies only when the reaction temperature changes. |
|
overall reaction order |
is the sum of the orders of the individual reactants. |
|
percent transmittance |
is the measure in percentage of light that passes through a given solution. When you have all light passing through solution, you have 100% when partial light is absorbed, you have less than 100%. |
|
analytical wavelength |
is the wavelength at which percent transmittance is lowest. this solution at the wavelength is most sensitive which is used for analysis. |
|
concentration of absorbing substance path length of light through the solution molar absorptivity |
what are three variables that influence specific responses of the solution, regarding spectrophotometric analysis? |
|
Beer's law |
the product of three variables used the calculate absorbance A is known as |
|
reference solution |
is used to compensate for interference when calculating absorbency. it contains all the components of the solution except the species being determined. |
|
cuvettes |
type of test tube used to analyze the absorbency of a solution. |
|
beers law plot |
a graph that is plotted and represents absorbence versus concentration. |
|
at equilibrium |
when there is no further change in the concentrations of either reactants or products we say the reaction is ............ |
|
titration |
is the addition of a chemically equivalent volume of a solution of known concentration, called a standardized solution, to the solution of unknown concentration being analyzed. |
|
titrant |
the ........ is the standardized solution being added to our buret. |
|
strong |
in ........... acids, virtually every molecule dissociates, releasing a hydrogen ion to a water molecule, producing hydronium ion. |
|
equivalence point |
the neutralization of a reaction is complete at this point. meaning, the number of moles of your titrants equals the number of moles of your solution your analyzing. |
|
weak |
in ........ acids, only a small percent of acid molecules dissociate to produce hydronium ion. |
|
solubility product constant |
the equilibrium constant for solids dissolving in a solvent is termed the.... |
|
reduction reaction |
chemical species gains the electrons lost by another chemical species in the oxidation process. |
|
oxidation reaction |
uncombined elements have lost electrons to form ions. |
|
spontaneous |
we say a redox reaction is ......... if the electron exchange occurs without outside influence. |
|
galvanic or voltaic |
when you physically separate out the half reactions , we can cause the electrongs to flow throughan external circuit. this system is known as a ............cell |
|
electrolytes |
are composed of solvated ions and can conduct an electric current. |
|
salt bridges |
contain a non interfering electrolyte. |
