CH14: CHEM. KINE. Flashcards
Zero-Order Rxns - Integrated Rate Law
[A] = -kt + [A]
Chemical Kinetics
study of factors affecting the rxn rate
Ectotherms
animals whose blood temperature matches the environmental temperature
what is rxn rate/rate of rxn?
(∆ concentration)/(∆ time)
simple rate/avg. rate
∙ -[∆A/∆t] or +[∆A/∆t]
for rct, the simple rate/average rate is..
(-) cuz it’s being used to create product over time
for products, the simple rate/average rate is..
positive (+) cuz it’s increasing by using reactants over time
rxn rate
(-1/a)[∆A/∆t] or +(1/a)[∆A/∆t]
[elem. or cmp.]
the M (molarity) of the elem. or cmp.
instantaneous rate in terms of chemistry
change in concentration at one particular time
relationship btwn the rxn rate and concentration of rcts
directly proportional
3 ways to monitor rxn mixtures
polarimetry, spectrometry, and pressure measurement/total pressure
polaritmetry
measuring the change in the degree of rotation of plane-polarized light caused by 1 components over time
spectrophotometry
measuring the amount of light of a particular λ absorbed by 1 component over time
total pressure
equal to the partial pressures of the rxn
aliquots - definition and method
samples (from the rxn mixture) drawn off at specific times and analyzed quantitatively
gas chromatography
separation method using gas flow through a glass or metal column that separates cmps. based on both volatility (material that can easily evaporate) and interaction w/ (l) stationary phase
methods to determine concentration in mixtures
spectrophotometry and gas chromatography
rate law
a mathematical description of how rate of rxn/rxn rate relate to concentration of rcts
provide the general rate law for A → products
Rate = k∙[A]ⁿ
k in rate law
rate constant and needs to be calculated
ⁿ in rate law
order w/ respect to the rct
overall order
total of all exponents added up
what is the rxn order with respect to NO from the equation: Rate = k[NO]²[O₂]?
2nd order
what is the overall order of the equation: Rate = k[NO]²[O₂]?
3rd order
order of rxn - mathematically
method of initial rates (rate₁/rate₂)
Integrated Rate Law
mathematical description tha relates time of rxn to the concentration of A (rct)
Zero-Order Rxns - Rate Law
Rate = k∙[A]⁰ or Rate = k
First-Order Rxns - Rate Law
Rate = k∙[A]¹ or Rate= k∙[A]
Second-Order Rxns - Rate Law
Rate = k∙[A]²
Second-Order Rxns - Integrated Rate Law
(1/[A]) = kt + (1/[A]₀)
First-Order Rxns - Integrated Rate Law
ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]₀
