Reaction Rate is equal to…
[A]/time or P=(nRT)/v because n/v= [A]
Factors that Affect Rate (And how)
Temp- increased temp= more collisions and KE
Concentration- higher [ ] means more collisions per volume
Physical state- as SA increases, so does rate
Which is constant? Rates or K
K
rate of ___1__ = - rate of ___2____
- Product
2. Reactant
First Order Rate Law and Reaction Order
Rate law = K[A]^x where x equals rate order
ln ([Ainitial]/[Afinal])= -Kt
Do First Order Reactions have intermediates?
NOPE
Half life equations for first and second order
First order half life= 0.693/k
Which is longer? T1/2 of 1st or 2nd order reaction?
2nd order
2nd order rate law
(1/[A]final)- (1/[A}initial)=Kt
Reaction Mechanisms
1) Elementary Steps must be physically reasonable (uni- or bi-molecular)
2) Steps must add to give overall eqn
3) Mechanism must correlate with data and rate determining step
Rate determining Step
Slowest step; rate law for this step is the overall rate law
To react, molecules must..?
Collide in space and with proper orientation
Activation Energy
collisions must have a certain minimum energy (Ea) for a reaction to occur
Arrhenius Equation
K=Ae^(-Ea/RT) A=frequency factor Ea= activation Energy R=ideal gas constant (8.314 J/mol K) T= temp in Kelvin
Eqn for finding K from different temps
ln (k1/k2) = (Ea/RT)((T1-T2)/T1T2)
Catalysts
increase reaction rate without being consumed
lowers both forward and reverse Ea by bonding with surface
Homogenous vs heterogenous catalysts
homo: in same state (G-G, L-L)
hetero: in different states (G-S)
At equilibrium, do the [products] and [reactants] change?
No!
Equilibrium
Forward rate = reverse rate
Keq
Equilibrium constant
= [products]/[reactants]
What do the coefficients in a reaction do with Keq equation?
They become exponents
EX: 3A+B–> 2C so Keq= [C]^2/ ([A]^3[B])
K>1
Product Favored
Forward reaction
K
Reactant favored
Reverse reaction
Kp =?????
= Kc (RT)^(change in n)
