providing an alternate pathway or mechanism
How will increasing the temperature by ten degrees Celsius impact the rate of reaction?
depends on the reaction
Which of the following are postulates of collision theory?
-The rate of a reaction is proportional to the rate of effective reactant collisions. -The reacting species must collide with the optimal orientation to allow the appropriate bonds to break and/or form as reactants are converted to products. -The collision must occur with adequate energy to permit mutual penetration of the reacting species' valence shells so that the electrons can rearrange and form new bonds.
Which is an example of concentration affecting the rate of reaction?
A reaction slows down as it proceeds.
Of the following, which is a false statement regarding chemical equilibrium?
A reversible reaction means a reaction that is at equilibrium between reactants and products.
Which description best fits the definition of activated complex?
An activated complex is an unstable combination of reactant species representing the highest energy state of a reaction system.
Which of the following react relatively slowly (hours to years) rather than nearly instantaneously? (select all that apply)
An egg spoiling in a freezer Calcium exposed to water Iron train tracks exposed to the air
Of the following, which are TRUE about collision theory? (select all that apply)
Collision theory explains why reaction rates tend to increase with higher concentrations. Collision theory states that, in addition to a collision in the proper orientation, adequate activation energy is required for a reaction to occur. Collision theory explains that more frequent collisions lead to a faster reaction rate.
Identify the options below that are false about chemical equilibria. (select all that apply)
Concentrations of products and reactants oscillate between a set range of values. At equilibrium, all species have stopped reacting altogether.
Of the following, which are true of chemical equilibria? (select all that apply)
Correct answer: The reaction proceeds in the forward and reverse directions simultaneously. The forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates.
The rate at which a reaction proceeds when the reaction first commences is called the:
Correct answer: initial rate
Choose the options below that are true of chemical equilibria. (select all that apply)
The reaction proceeds in the forward and reverse directions at the same rate. Both the forward and the reverse reactions are achievable. There is no net change in concentrations of reactants and products.
