🧪 Quick Study Guide

• ⏱️ Reaction Rate: The speed at which reactants are converted into products.
• 🌡️ Factors Affecting Rate: Temperature, concentration, surface area, and catalysts.
• 📈 Rate Law: Expresses the relationship between reactant concentrations and the rate of reaction. Example: $rate = k[A]^m[B]^n$ where $k$ is the rate constant, and $m$ and $n$ are the orders of reaction with respect to reactants A and B, respectively.
• ⚗️ Rate Constant (k): A proportionality constant that relates the rate of a reaction to the concentrations of reactants.
• 💥 Activation Energy (Ea): The minimum energy required for a reaction to occur.
• 🧮 Arrhenius Equation: $k = Ae^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}}$, where $A$ is the pre-exponential factor, $R$ is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol·K), and $T$ is the temperature in Kelvin.
• ⚛️ Catalysts: Substances that speed up a reaction without being consumed. They lower the activation energy.
