1. CHAPTER 13: CHEMICAL KINETICS RATE LAWS FIRST ORDER REACTIONS

2. Reaction Rate: Concentration-Rate Law Rate Law for Equation with One Reactant: A  products Rate = k [A] m Rate Law for Equation with Two Reactants A + B  Products Rate = k[reactant 1] m [reactant 2] n “k” is the rate law constant; temperature related “m” and “n” are rate law exponents

3. Reaction Rate: Concentration-Rate Law To Deduce Intuitively Rate Law Exponents: From data, observe correlation between change in concentration and rate. rate law exponent is zero (zero order) for a reactant if the change in concentration of that reactant produces no effect. Rate law exponent is one (first order) if doubling the concentration causes the rate to double.

4. To Deduce, Intuitively, Rate Law Exponents: Rate law exponent is two (second order) if doubling the concentration results in a 2 2 increase in rate. Note that the rate constant does not depend on concentration.

18. Reaction Rate & Concentration: First Order Reactions The first-order rate constant for the decomposition of an antibiotic is 6.82E-3 hour –1. The initial concentration of the antibiotic is 125 mg. How long will it take for the antibiotic to decompose to 25.0 mg?

19. Effect of Concentration: Rate Laws First Order Reactions and Half-Life Half-life is the time taken for the concentration of a reactant to drop to half its original value. That is, half life, t 1/2 is the time taken for [A] 0 to reach ½[A] 0. Mathematically,

24. The Change of Concentration with Time Second-Order Reactions We can show that the half life A reaction can have rate constant expression of the form rate = k[A][B], i.e., is second order overall, but has first order dependence on A and B.
