4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define the steric factor. What does it represent in chemical reactions?
Think of how molecules must align during a reaction.
What is the significance of collision frequency in chemical kinetics?
Remember that higher concentrations lead to more collisions.
What is the steric factor (p) for simple atomic collisions?
Think about how simple collisions typically occur.
True or False: All collisions between molecules lead to a reaction.
Consider what conditions are necessary for a collision to be effective.
In a reaction where the steric factor is 0.001, calculate the effective collision frequency if the total collision frequency is 10^6 collisions per second.
Remember the formula for effective collisions involves multiplying total collisions by the steric factor.
Discuss how increasing the concentration of reactants A and B by 50% will affect the rate of a bimolecular reaction A + B -> C if the steric factor is 0.3.
Consider how the mathematical relationships for concentration and steric factor interact.
