Chemical kinetics

3. the measurement of the outer surface of an object
5. the reaction that forms from reactants
8. the internal energy stored in the reactants; only the difference between the enthalpies of products and reactants can be known
12. shows the energy changes that take place during the course of a reaction
13. If a reaction can take place by more than one route and the initial and final conditions are the same, the total enthalpy change is the same for each route
14. substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction
15. a reaction that releases heat

1. a measure of how hot (or cold) something is; specifically, a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object
2. Energy needed to get a reaction started
4. a reaction that absorbs energy
6. a substance that slows or prevents a reaction
7. measure of how fast a chemical reaction occurs
9. Middle step not found in nature, used to make consumer products/can't buy
10. the area of chemistry that is concerned with reaction rates and reaction mechanisms
11. increases the interaction between solute and solvent
