Q

arrhenius equation

A

Ae ^(-Ea/RT)
k = rate constant (same units as A)
A = arrhenius constant(same units as k)
e= mathmatical constant
Ea= activation energy (J)
R= molar gas constant (J mol-1 K-1)
T= temperature (K)

Q

what do the differnet orders of reaction mean

A

zero- changing concentration has no effect on the rate
first- rate directly proportional to the change in concentration of reaction
second - rate proportional to the square of change in concentration

Q

what are the 2 types of experiment that can be done to determine the order with respect to different reactants

A

continuous monitoring method (following the course of a single reaction)
initial rates method (doing multiple experiments)

Q

how to measure the progress of reaction in continuous monitoring method and its problems+ solutions

A

by taking samples at regular intervals, much quench the reaction when sampling by adding a large volume of cold distilled water to both cool and dilute the reaction decreasing the rate
OR
by using a visible indicator/ physical properties such as a gas syringe to measure gas volume, this mearsures the amount of product produced and the order of reaction is about reactants so volumes recorded would need converting to reactant concentration
if colour changing reaction use colorimetry

Q

how to use reuslts of continous monitoring to work out orders

A

CTT graphs (concnetration time and tangent)
plot concenration on y axis and time on x axis, draw tangent at any value of t and the gradient of the tangent will give the rate of reaction at that specific moment in time. do this is different concentration and compare facto of change in conc to factor of change of rate worked out by gradients

Q

finding the order of reaction from the intial rate experiment

A

a sereies of reaction is carried out in which the concentration of one reactant is changes each time, mearsure the time taken to react rate is 1/T then a graph of rate vs conc can be plotted and the shape of the line indicates the order
zero order- horizontal line
first order- diagonal line
second order- curved line

17
Q

use the orders with respect to reactants to provide infomation about the rate determining/ limiting step of a reaction

A

the species in the rate determining step must match the species in the rate equation
no matter how fast the other steps may be the overall reaction must be deterinined by the one slowest step
