Question | Answer |
---|---|
study of the rate of chemical reaction, including the mechanism by which a reaction occurs and the different factors that affect it. | CHEMICAL KINETICS |
states that atoms, ions, and molecules must collide in order to react. | COLLISION THEORY |
mathematical expression that shows how the rate of reaction depend on the concentration of the reactants | RATE LAW |
(measure of heat) | Enthalpy |
(measure of available energy) | Gibbs Free Energy |
occurs without the need for a continual input of energy from some external source | Spontaneous Reaction |
requires for a continual input of energy from some external source. | Nonspontaneous Reaction |
measure of molecular randomness or disorder | Entropy |
the reaction is Spontaneous. | G is negative |
state of a reversible reaction where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction. | CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM |
free energy is a portion of the total energy of a system that is available to do useful work. | GIBBS FREE ENERGY |
used to determine whether a solution is acidic, basic, or neutral by determining the concentration of H+ ions in solution | pH Scale |
resist drastic changes in pH even when added with an acid or a base. | Buffer Solutions |
minimum amount of energy that reacting particles must have to form the activated complex and lead to a reaction | Activation Energy |
