Chapter 12
For rate- k [  ]x [  ]y
  1) see which ones are the same in the 1st column
  2) see how much they are differed by
  3) solve for x

constant/variable/ rate 1-2

The speed of the reaction is related to the concentration of elements

A+B=products

- All nuclear reactions are first-order rate
The overall order= addition of the exponents

1.  Chemical kinetics is mainly concerned with reaction rate.
2. Reaction rate is the change in concentration per unit time.

- the rate determining step of a reaction is the slowest step

The higher the activation energy, the lower the reaction rate.
Activation energy and temperature- The higher the temp. the higher the activation energy

ln k2/k1 = Ea/R (1/t1- 1/t2)                                  r= 8.3145 s/mol*k
