Chapter 5 Flashcards
Reaction Rates
Rate Law
Overall order of a reaction
rate = k[A]x[B]y
x + y
Determined experimentally
Zero Order
rate = k = M/s
First Order Reactions
Half-Life
rate = k[A]
k = /s
[A<sub>t</sub>] = [A<sub>0</sub>]e<sup>-kt</sup> t<sub>1/2</sub> = ln2/ k
t1/2 = 0.693/ k
Second Order Reactions
rate = k[A][B] or [A]2
k = /M*s
Efficeincy of Reactions
Collision Theory of Chemical Kinetics
rate = fZ
f = frequency of collisions
Z = fraction of effective collisions
Enthalpy Change
ΔH = Potential Energy of products - reactans
-ΔH = exothermic = Heat Given
+ΔH = endothermic = Heat Absorbed

Law of Mass Action
2A ⇔ B + C
ratef = kf[A]2
rater = kr[B][C]
Equilibrium Constant
Kc = [B][C]/[A]2
Kc = k1k2/k-1k-2
Properties of Equilibrium Constant
Solid and pure liquids excluded
Keq changes with temperature
Keq >> 1 = Reactants favoured
Keq << 1 = Products favoured
Q >> Keq = Shift to products
Q << Keq = Shift to reactants
