W13-CHEM1B-Kinetics

1. Time it takes for a reactant’s concentration to decrease by half.
5. Reaction order where the rate quadruples when concentration doubles.
7. A factor that affects rate by increasing particle energy and collisions.
8. A factor that determines whether a reaction occurs, regardless of energy.
10. Reaction order where the rate doubles when concentration doubles.
12. Speeds up a reaction without being consumed.
15. A diagram that shows the energy changes during a reaction.
16. A factor that affects how fast a reaction occurs—and what you need to finish this puzzle! 😉
18. A simple theory that explains how reactions happen through particle interactions.
21. A biological catalyst.
22. A species that forms in one step and is used up in another.
23. What increases when a catalyst is added to a reaction.

2. Our class motto! 💙
3. One of our favorite scientists!
4. What the half-life of a first-order reaction is (but not for second-order).
6. The step-by-step sequence of elementary reactions in an overall process.
9. High-energy state where old bonds are partially broken and new bonds are partially formed.
11. – The proportionality factor in the rate law.
13. Describes the energy peak at the transition state.
14. A reaction order that is independent of concentration.
17. The minimum threshold energy required for a reaction to occur.
19. Rate law that expresses concentration as a function of time.
20. The study of reaction rates.
24. What decreases when a catalyst is used (two words, no space).
