Number: Unit 17 Unit Topic(s): Empirical Rate Expressions, Monod Equation, and Arrhenius Behavior Objectives: After completing this unit, the student should be able to 1. define, in words, each of the following terms from the required reading a. empirical rate expression b. reaction order with respect to a given species c. overall reaction order 2. write the defining equation for each of the following quantities a. power-law rate expression b. Arrhenius expression for a rate coefficient c. Monod equation 3. write a mathematical term which can be multiplied with any rate expression and will cause that rate expression to equal zero when it is evaluated at equilibrium conditions identify 4. the pre-exponential factor and the activation energy in the Arrhenius expression for a rate coefficient 5. use the Arrhenius expression a. to describe the temperature dependence of a rate coefficient (for example, given the value of the rate coefficient at two different temperatures, calculate the preexponential factor and the activation energy in the corresponding Arrhenius expression) b...
