Integrated Rate Laws Concentration & Time

Rate law tells us how speed of reaction varies with concentrations.

Sometimes want to know o Concentrations of reactants and products at

given time during reactiono How long for the concentration of reactants to

drop below some minimum optimal value

Need dependence of rate on time

Integrated Rate Laws Graphically determining Order

Make two plots:

1. ln [A] vs. time

2. 1/[A] vs. timeo If ln [A] is linear and 1/[A] is curved, then

reaction is 1st order in [A]o If 1/[A] plot is linear and ln [A] is curved, then

reaction is 2nd order in [A]o If both plots give horizontal lines, then 0th order

in [A]

Half Life (t1/2) for First Order ReactionsIntegrated Rate Laws

Observe:

1. t½ is independent of [A]o

o For given reaction (and T)o Takes same time for concentration to fall from

o2 M to 1 M as from o5.0 10–3 M to 2.5 10–3 M

2. k1 has units (time)–1, so t½ has units (time)

o t½ called half-life

oTime for ½ of sample to decay

Does this mean that all of sample is gone in two half-lives (2 × t½)?

No! o In 1st t½, it goes to ½[A]o

o In 2nd t½, it goes to ½(½[A]o) = ¼[A]o

o In 3rd t½, it goes to ½(¼[A]o) = ⅛[A]o

o In nth t½, it goes to [A]o/2n

Activation Energy (Ea)

Molecules must possess certain amount of kinetic energy (KE) in order to react

bounce off each othero Without this minimum amount, reaction will not occur

even when correctly oriented
