Reaction Rate Disappearance of reactant or appearance of product Dependence of amount of initial reactant A + B AB rate α [A]p or rate α [B]q or rate α [A]p [B]q or rate α [AB]r rate =k [A]p [B]q p and q are orders for A and B https://www.siliconrepublic.com/discovery/2014/11/11/gigglebit-9-eye-popping-science-experiments-captured-in-gif-form

Specific rate constant (k) rate =k [A]p [B]q Determined experimentally Varies with temperature and catalyst Independent of reactant concentration
Parameters [A] will differ in each reaction Experiment perform at two temperature rate= k [A]p[B]q keeping [B] constant rate= k’ [A]p rate= -Δ[B]/Δt or rate= appearance of [AB]/Δt
Determination of Reaction Order, p, and Rate constants, k’ rate =k’ [A]p log(rate) = log k’ + p log [A] y= b + m x y-intercept = log k’
Activation Energy (Ea) Minimal energy to star a reaction. Arrhenius equation k=Ae-Ea/RT R: Gas constant (8.314 J/mol K) A: collision parameter k: Specific rate canstant http://www.uic.edu/classes/bios/bios100/lectures/enzymes.htm http://chemorphesis.ucsd.edu/catalysis/chemistry.html
Determination of Ea k=Ae-Ea/RT k1/k2 = (Ae-Ea/RT1) /(Ae-Ea/RT2) ln (k1/k2)= - Ea/R (1/T1 – 1/T2) Ea= - [R ln (k1/k2) ]/ (1/T1 – 1/T2)
