Intermediate

[Melissa Solis 1H]

Hi, can someone please explain what an intermediate is?

[Riddhi Mehta 2C]

An intermediate is a species in the reaction that is created as a product and then consumed in another step. It does not appear in the overall reaction.

[SophiaBarden 2E]

Intermediates are molecules that are produced during a reaction but not present in the Products by the end of the reaction.

[MMorcus2E]

If you are looking at a set of reactions, the intermediates are the chemicals that are on both the reactants and products side. Because they are on both the reactant and product sides, they cancel each out when we combine the two reactions into one net reaction.

[Akemi Karamitsos 1E]

As stated above, intermediates are produced and then consumed in multi-step reactions. Therefore, they can be canceled out when writing the overall reaction. Also, make sure that you can distinguish intermediates from catalysts. While they both cancel out in the overall reaction, catalysts are the reactants present to begin with/needed to carry out the reaction (consumed and then produced).

[Brian_Wu_3B]

An intermediate is a molecule that is produced in the middle of the reaction, but is also consumed right after. There would be no net increase or decrease of an intermediate.

[abby hyman]

An intermediate is a species that is a product in one reaction and then a reactant in the next. In other words, it is produced and then consumed.

[manisha_joseph_1H]

An intermediate is a compound that is produced in one step of a reaction and consumed in another, ultimately not being present in the overall reaction.

[Andy Hon 3E]

Intermediate is not present at the end of the reaction. It is, however, produced somewhere along the reaction and used.

[Vanshika Bhushan 1A]

In a chemical reaction or mechanism, an intermediate is any reacting species that is no longer starting material or reactant, and has not yet become product.

[Emma_Barrall_3J]

An intermediate is a product in one step, that is a consumed as a reactant in a subsequent step.

[Mary Shih 3J]

when looking at multistep reactions, an intermediate is made and therefore and the product AND being used up as a reactant in the following rxn. Look for the common molecule that is in the product and then in the reactant for the next step

[Taylor Newville 1C]

An intermediate is a species found only in multi-step reactions and is fundamental to a reaction's mechanism. It is formed by the reactants of one step and is consumed as a reactant in a following step. They are not included in the overall rate law of the reaction.

[Nayra Gharpetian 3F]

an intermediate is a product in one step, then consumed as a reactant in the next step. since it goes from being a product to a reactant, it cancels out and is not included in the overall reaction equation

[Ariel Guan 1H]

An intermediate is formed during the reaction, and it is consumed at a later step. So it goes from being a product to a reactant

[Stephen Min 1I]

An intermediate is a substance that is present in the product an earlier equation and in the reactants of a later equation for a reaction mechanism.

[Jalaia Jackson 2G]

An intermediate or reaction intermediate is a substance formed during a middle step of a chemical reaction between reactants and the chosen product.

[Kyla Roche 2K]

An intermediate is formed and then used up. It is not present in the final reaction.

[Alvin Lai 3J]

An intermediate is first formed in one step, then consumed as a reactant in the next step. It does not show up in the overall reaction.

[Teti Omilana 1G]

An intermediate is made in the middle of a reaction, and is not present at the end.

[Sophia Kalanski 1A]

an intermediate is a molecule produced in the middle of the reaction but is later consumed before the final products are created

[Sondia Luong 1C]

Intermediates are produced and consumed in reactions, while catalysts are consumed and then produced (the opposite).

[Madeline Louie 1B]

An intermediate is a product formed in one step, but then consumed in a later step as a reactant. In the overall equation, it is neither a reactant or a product and does not exist since it is consumed after it is produced.

[Sejal Parsi 3K]

As explained above, an intermediate is a molecule that is produced in a reaction, but is also consumed right after in the next step. So, there is no net increase or decrease of an intermediate.

[Nishka Vipul 1J]

An intermediate is a substance that is first formed, then used up in the elementary steps of a reaction.

[Alexis Sanft 1E]

An intermediate will appear first in the products and then in the reactants. It is produced and then used up.

[Kyle Dizon 3A]

I think an intermediate is a species that is produced but later consumed again in the reaction.

[AlyssaMaynard1C]

An intermediate is a species in the reaction that is created as a product and then consumed in another step. It does not appear in the overall reaction.

Is it called intermediate because it's only there intermittently? If so, that's a good way to remember it.

[LarisaAssadourian2K]

I agree with the previous posts! An intermediate is a molecule that is formed and consumed during the elementary steps of a reaction. It does not appear in the overall reaction.

[Brandon Le 3C]

An intermediate is simply a molecule that is formed as a product in one of the steps of an earlier reaction, and then are used as a reactant in a later reaction. In the overall reaction, the intermediate molecule would not appear.

[Edwin Liang 1I]

An intermediate is a substance that is produced from a reaction, but then is reacted in another reaction, so that it does not appear in the overall reaction

[Aria Movassaghi 1A]

an intermediate is something produced and later consumed in a series of rxns but does not appear in the ovr rxn.

[SLai_1I]

An intermediate is a substance that is created in one step, but then used in a step that follows.

[Justin Zhang_1A]

It is something that is produced in one step, but then consumed in a later step, so it doesn't appear in the final reaction.

[Mehreen 3I]

Intermediates are not present in the end with the final reaction but they are produced and consumed during the reaction.

[Colin Squire 3B]

An intermediate is a compound that is created as a result of multiple steps in a reaction. However, when it is created, it is consumed in another step, meaning that it will not be in the final reaction or products. It is basically an element that progresses the steps while being consumed.

[Emma_Barrall_3J]

An intermediate is a species that is created as a product and then subsequently consumed.

[Stephanie Zhang 2K]

hi! intermediates are molecules that are not part of the overall reaction; they are first produced in one step and then consumed in a later step. Be sure not to confuse this with a catalyst- catalysts are first consumed in one step and then produced in a later step.

[Shruti Kulkarni 2I]

An intermediate is a compound that is produced in a reaction and then subsequently used up in a later step of the reaction. So, it is not present in the products or the reactants but is both created and used up over the course of the reaction.

[joshtully]

An intermediated is a substance that is not seen in the overall reaction. It is created as a product and then consumed.

[Jacob Schwarz-Discussion 3I]

An intermediate is produced, AND consumed in a reaction

[Ashley Lopez 3J]

I was also wondering the same thing! They are not part of the reaction or product, but are rather created and then consumed during the process.

[Ashley Wagner 2A]

Intermediates are not a part of the overall reaction since they are formed in one step and consumed in the next causing them to cancel each other out.

[Jerry_T]

An intermediate is produced and consumed as the reaction occurs so it is not present in the overall reaction.

[Rose_Malki_3G]

An intermediate is a species that is not a reactant nor product in the overall balanced equation but is formed and then consumed in the elementary steps of the reaction.

[Randi Ruelas 1G]

An intermediate is a reacting species in a chemical reaction that is canceled as we try to get the overall reaction. The intermediate is produced first and consumed later

[Brianne Conway 1D]

An intermediate is a species that is produced in an elementary step and consumed in a subsequent elementary step. So an intermediate doesn't appear in either the reactants or products in the overall equation.

[Valerie Tran 2B]

A compound is an intermediate if it is produced in one step of the reaction and is consumed as a reactant in a later step, but does not appear in the overall reaction. Remember, this is different from a catalyst.

[Chudi Onyedika 3A]

It is produced first and then consumed

[Lung Sheng Liang 3J]

Hello, an intermediate is a substance that is produced in one of the elementary reactions and then consumed in another elementary reaction. It doesn't show up in the full equation.

[Anna Lockhart 2B]

A good way to recognize an intermediate is that it is made as a product and then used as a reactant in the next step.

[Jacquelyn Challis 2B]

An intermediate is a species in the reaction that is created as a product and then consumed in another step. It does not appear in the overall reaction

[LovepreetSran_3H]

An intermediate is a compound that is produced in one reaction and then consumed in the next step.

[Gustavo_Chavez_1K]

An intermediate is a reagent in a reaction that is both created and used up during a chemical reaction (in different steps of course).

[reyvalui_3g]

An intermediate is a species in a chemical reaction that is created in one step, but then used up in the next.

[Joshua Chung 2D]

Intermediates are substances produced, then consumed in a reaction. Unlike catalysts, they do not exist in the first step's reactants.

[kentbui1d]

Catalysts aren't used up, but intermediates are used between steps.

[RyanKopeikin_2I]

Intermediates are produced in one step and consumed in another, and they do not show up in the overall reaction.

[rhettfarmer-3H]

An intermediante is a value that is produced and then consumed in a reaction so essitially it canceled out and doesnt play affect on the rate of the reaction.

[Keshav Patel 14B 2B]

Intermediates are molecules that appear in the initial reaction but do not end up in the final reaction. In the first few steps they become products and become cancelled out so they are not seen in the final reaction.
