rate of dissappearance
reactants
-[Concentration of reactants]/change in time
rate of appearance
products
[concentration of products]/change in time (s)
the rate of appearance of one molecule—the rate of disappearance of another molecule
equals
equation to find rates of change for a reaction
-1/a([A]/change in time)=1/b([B]/change in time)
general rate law
R= k[A]^x[B]^y
what can affect the value of k (rate constant)
temperature
when a reaction depends on a single reactant to the first order
first order reactions
integrated rate law (1st order)
ln[A]=-kt+ln[A]initial
what does a first order graph look like?
linear line
when a reaction depends on one reactant to the 2nd order or two first order reactants
second order reaction
integrated rate law (2nd order)
1/[A]=kt+1/[A]initial
what does a second order graph look like?
a curved line
integrated rate law (0th order)
[A]=-kt+[A]initial
what does a zeroth order graph look like?
Horizontal line
1st order half life
.693/K
2nd order half life
1/(K*[A]0)
rate laws relate—and—
rate and concentration
integrated rate laws relate—and —
time and concentration
the minimum E required to intiate a chemical reaction
Activation energy
the higher the value of E the — rate
slower
Arrhenius equation
k= Ae^(-Ea/RT)
determining the activation E with one rate constant
ln(k)=-Ea/RT +ln(A)
determining the activation E with two rate constants
ln(k1/k2)=-Ea/R(1/T2-1/T1)
if a reaction has a slow first step what determines the rate of the reaction?
the rate law of the slow first step
