experiment 5 Flashcards
3 factors that affect rate of chemical reaction
concentration of reactants, temperature, and presence of catalyst
what (explain process) dictates the speed of reactions
how reactants OVERCOME energy barriers (ACTIVATION ENERGY)
how can the concentration effect be better understood
rate law expressions
____ dictates how changes in one reactant will affect the conversion to product
order of reaction
method to obtain the order with respect to a reactant
Method of initial rates
2 criteria for a chemical reaction to occur
- must be in proper orientation
- must have enough energy to overcome activation energy
What reacting species are included in writing rate law expressions?
Only reactants
How to get the total reaction order?
Sum of all individual reaction orders
Effect of increasing the ff on rate of reaction
- Concentration
- Temperature
- Addition of Catalyst
Increase rate of reaction
in the reaction:
Rate = [A] ^ m [B] ^ n
How to get the experimental order in terms of A?
- Cross out [B] ^ n
- Matitira is:
rate 1 / rate 2 = [A1] ^ m / [A2] ^ m - to get m order:
m = [log (rate1 / rate2)] / [log (A1 / A2)]
same thing with n order
How to get the rate constant
K = rate / ([A]^m [B]^n)
What are the units of the RATE CONSTANT per order?8
0th order = M/s
1st order = 1/s
2nd order = M^-1 s^-1
3rd order = M^-2 s^-1
4th order = M^-3 s^-1
