Kinetics Flashcards
an average rate is defined over
some time window
RATE =
change in concentration / change in time
Mole rates are related. what is the relationship like
they are porportionate. balanced equation will increase moles proportionally
Rates can change, how?
The rate of production can increase or decrease, check slope steepness. If slope is steep, rate is fast. If slope less steep, rate slowed down.
Rate law
equation showing how reaction rate depends on concentration of each reactant
if aA+bB –> cC + dD, rate =
k [A]^m [B} ^n
k = rate constant
m = reaction order in A
n = reaction order in B
reaction rate describes
how fast reaction is going
rate laws
show how the reate depedns on the reactant concentrations
half-life
time it takes to react 50%
arrhenius equation describes
how rate constant changes with TEMPERATURE
Reaction mechanisms
-connect microscopic molecular processes to overall rate
-reveal how reaction occurs
Intergrated rate laws describe
mathematical functions give concentrations through time
Method of initial rates: granular
- Two expirments vary
- divide inital [B] values with ^n to get n ( rate3/rate2 = [B3}^n / [B2] ^n]
- divide inital [A] values with ^m to get m (9 = 3 ^m)
- use data on any one expiriment and plug in for according rate law
rate laws:
rate = k[A]⁰ = k
rate = k[A]
rate = k[A][B]
rate = k[A]²[B]
Order and units:
0. M/s
1. 1/s
2. 1/(M s)
3. 1/m^2 s)
Zero Order Integrated law
[A]t = -kt + [A]₀
[A]₀ is inital conc.
[A]ₜ is concentration at t
STEEP linearly DECREASE slope
half life zero order
t₀.₅ = [A]₀ / 2k
First order intergraded
[A]ₜ = [A]₀e⁻ᵏᵗ
or
ln [A]ₜ/[A]₀ = -kt
-linearly decrease slope
