Chemical Kinetics & Reaction Rates

Reaction rate depends on factors such as concentration, temperature, and catalysts.

The Arrhenius equation relates reaction rate to temperature.

Catalysts lower activation energy and increase reaction speed.

11. States of Matter

Matter exists in different states: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. The state of a substance
depends on temperature and pressure, influencing intermolecular forces and molecular
movement.

12. Phase Changes

Changes between states—melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation, and


deposition—occur when a substance absorbs or releases energy, altering molecular
interactions.

13. Gas Laws

Gas behavior follows laws such as Boyle’s Law (pressure-volume relationship),


Charles’s Law (temperature-volume relationship), and the Ideal Gas Law (PV = nRT),
describing gas behavior under different conditions.

14. Intermolecular Forces

Forces between molecules include London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions,


and hydrogen bonding. These forces influence boiling and melting points, solubility, and
viscosity.

15. Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry involves the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a


chemical reaction, using balanced chemical equations to determine mole ratios and mass
calculations.

16. Limiting Reactants

The limiting reactant is the substance completely consumed in a reaction, determining the
amount of product formed. Excess reactants remain after the reaction is complete.
