Elementary reactions are ____ reactions with a single __ __ and no ____. The rate law of an elementary reaction can be derived from the ___ of reactants in the balanced equation

___ do not appear in the rate law. The __ ____, reaction orders must be determined experimentally. A reaction’s overall reaction order is the absolute value of each individual __ ___

Increasing temperature will __ the rate constant and the overall rate of the equation. Decreasing the activation energy by adding a ___, will increase the rate constant and the rate of the reaction. Increasing the concentration of the reactions will produce __ __ on the rate constant, but the rate of the reaction increases if the order of the reaction is greater than ___

The rate of the reaction does not depend on the concentration of the reactants

The rate of the reaction is proportional to the concentration of the reactant

The rate of the reaction is proportional to the square of one reactant or two reactants

Determines the amount of reactant / product present over a period of time
