Q

What factors affect the rate of reaction?

A
  • the nature of the reaction (eg metallic sodium reacts with O2 to form oxide fast, iron= slowly, gold= not at all)
  • concentration of reactants
  • the temperature
  • physical state of reactants (eg powder = larger surface area= fast)
  • presence of catalysts
  • action of light

Q

What is a first order reaction and what does it mean?

A

The rate is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactant; if the concentration is doubled, the rate doubles

Q

What is a second order reaction and what does it mean?

A

The rate is proportional to the square of the concentration; if the concentration of the reactant is doubled, the rate increases by a factor of 4

Q

What happens to the rate if you have more than one reactant concentration?

A

It’s proportional to both;

Rate {proportional to} [A] x [B]

Q

What is the proportionality constant? What, therefore, is the reaction?

A

The rate constant, or “k”

Therefore; rate = k [A] x [B]

Q

What are the units of a first order rare constant?

A

S-1

17
Q

What’s the concentration of zero order rate reaction?

A

Mol L-1 s-1

18
Q

What happens as order increases?

A

19
Q

How would you rearrange

Rate= k[A][B]^2 to find the k value?

A

K = rate / [A][B]^2

20
Q

What is an integrated first order rate law equation?

A

[R] = [R]oe^-kt

R= conc of reactant after time 
Ro= conc of reactant at start 
t= time in seconds
21
Q

What’s the integrated form of a second order reaction? (Reactants to products)

A

1/[R] = 1/[R]o + kt

22
Q

Does the first order plot of integrated law rate make a straight line?

A

Yes

23
Q

Does the second order graph of integrated law make a straight line?

A

No, it’s curved

24
Q

What is the half-life of a reactant?

A

The time it takes for a reaction to fall to half of its initial value, denoted by symbol t 1/2

25
Q

What does the half life depend on?

A

The order of the reaction

26
Q

First order half life law?

A

[R]/[R] = 1/2= e ^(kt 1/2)

Which goes to

T1/2 = ln2/k
