What is the relationship between concentration and rate of reaction?
The rate of reaction depends on 3 factors: concentration, temperature, and catalysts.Think of reactions as small atoms colliding into each other to create different reactions for compounds. Therefore we can say that with greater collisions you can have a faster reaction. The first way to have greater collisions is to have more atoms per unit space. Like having more balloons in a small room makes the balloons hit each other more often, such also can be said for chemical reactions.The second way is briefly put by increasing the temperature, thus (and is the same as) increasing molecular kinetic energy. The faster the molecules go, the more likely they are to collide.The last way, again to say briefly is to create a sort of chemical reaction “shortcut” by using other compounds to help the reaction on its way.
Why does the enzyme graph (rate of reaction-substrate concentration) is always constant?
The enzyme should not be limiting. It does not get used up in the reaction. So, as you increase substrate concentration, you increase the rate of reaction, until you reach a substrate concentration that saturates the enzyme. Increasing substrate concentration abve that will no longer result in a change in the rate of reaction. The substrate concentration does change, but only by a very small amount during initial rates, which is where enzyme kinetics should be performed. If you leave a substrate and enzyme to react for a long period of time, then yes, the concentration of substrate will decrease, all else being equal.
If concentration doubles,rate of reaction triples. Then order of reaction is 1.5.?
order= (lg3)/(lg2)=1.585
The rate of a CO reaction?
A reaction was found to be second order in carbon monoxide concentration. The rate of the reaction __________ if the [CO] is doubled, with everything else kept the same. A) triples B) doubles C) remains unchanged D) is reduced by a factor of 2 E) increases by a factor of 4
Rate of Reaction Conceptual Idea?
For the reaction between gaseous chlorine and nitric oxide: 2NO(g) + Cl2(g) ---> 2NOCl(g) doubling the concentration of chlorine doubles the rate of reaction. 1] Scenario A: Doubling the concentrations of both reactants increases the rate by a factor of eight. What is the order for NO? 2] Scenario B: Doubling the concentrations of both reactants increases the rate by a factor of two. What is the order for NO? 3] Scenario C: Doubling the concentrations of both reactants increases the rate by a factor of four. What is the order for NO? I'm having a difficult time understanding the conceptual approach to these problems. How do I approach these types of problems? I understand that Chlorine itself is a 1st order reaction, but I don't know where to go from there. Can someone explain a process on how to approach these problems? I need to understand the process more than I do the answer. I just want to add that I understand the definitions of 0, 1st and 2nd order reactions, but I am having difficulties putting it all together. Thank you in advance for the help.
