A more refined description The average reaction rate gives us information about the speed of the reaction over a certain period of time. But what if we are interested in a more detailed description. How do we calculate the instantaneous reaction rate at any particular time?

START END Different Rates During a Reaction Overall average rate Initial Rate Instantaneous Rate (slope of the line At a point)

. From your lab experience, how could we follow the course of this reaction? Measure rates? What’s changing? What could we measure? Measuring Rates Consider this reaction: Br 2 ( aq ) + HCOOH ( aq ) 2Br - ( aq ) + 2H + ( aq ) + CO 2 ( g ) time

 [Br 2 ]   Absorption Br 2 ( aq ) + HCOOH ( aq ) 2Br - ( aq ) + 2H + ( aq ) + CO 2 ( g ) time 393 nm light Detector 393 nm Br 2 ( aq )

Instantaneous rate = rate for specific tiny instance in time Br 2 ( aq ) + HCOOH ( aq ) 2Br - ( aq ) + 2H + ( aq ) + CO 2 ( g ) Average rate =   [Br 2 ]  t = - [Br 2 ] final – [Br 2 ] initial t final - t initial slope of tangent slope of tangent slope of tangent

rate  [Br 2 ] rate = k [Br 2 ] + 0.0 = rate constant = 3.50 x 10 -3 s -1 Y=mX+b Constant = Slope = k How do the RATES change with [Br 2 ] ? Rate = k [Br 2 ] 1 this is called a 1 st order reaction Rate Law The rate law for a reaction tells us how rate varies with concentration of the reactants. Br 2 (aq) + HCOOH(aq)  HBr(aq) + CO 2 (g) R A T E k = rate [Br 2 ]

SOLUTION: For each of the following reactions, determine the reaction order with respect to each reactant and the overall order from the given rate law. (a) The reaction is 2nd order in NO, 1st order in O 2 , and 3rd order overall. Your Turn (a) 2NO( g ) + O 2 ( g ) 2NO 2 ( g ); rate = k [NO] 2 [O 2 ] CH 3 CHO( g ) CH 4 ( g ) + CO( g ); rate = k [CH 3 CHO] 3/2 (c) H 2 O 2 ( aq ) + 3I - ( aq ) + 2H + ( aq ) I 3 - ( aq ) + 2H 2 O( l ); rate = k [H 2 O 2 ][I - ]

What is the effect on the rate if the concentration of A is doubled? Consider the reaction: 2A + 2B + C -> 2D + E If the rate law for this reaction is Rate = k [A][B] 2 No change x2 x4 x8 x16

What is the effect on the rate if the concentration of A is doubled? No change x2 x4 x8 x16 Rate = k [A][B] 2

What is the effect on the rate if the concentrations of A, B & C are all doubled? No change x2 x4 x8 x16 Rate = k [A][B] 2

Measured Reaction Rates The rate of reaction changes with time, as the concentrations of reactants and products change. The rate constant , but not the rate, is independent of time. The instantaneous rate is the rate at any given time and is equal to the slope of a line tangent to the plot of concentration vs. time.

Determining Reaction Orders The rate law for a given reaction must be determined experimentally. The order must be found for each species involved. The two major methods are Initial Rate Method Integrated Rate Law Method

Rate Laws In general, for a A + b B  x X with a catalyst C Rate = k [A] m [B] n [C] p The exponents m, n, and p are the reaction order with respect each reactant Overall reaction order= m + n + p These numbers can be 0, 1, 2 or fractions and must be determined by experiment ! They are NOT related to the stoichiometric coefficients a,b,x

Determining Reaction Orders Using Initial Rates Compare 2 experiments in which the concentration of one reactant varies and the concentration of the other reactant(s) remains constant. k [O 2 ] 2 m [NO] 2 n k [O 2 ] 1 m [NO] 1 n = = [O 2 ] 2 m [O 2 ] 1 m = 6.40x10 -3 mol/L*s 3.21x10 -3 mol/L*s = ; 2 = 2 m m = 1 Do a similar calculation for the other reactant(s). Run a series of experiments, each of which starts with a different set of reactant concentrations, and from each obtain an initial rate. O 2 ( g ) + 2NO( g ) 2NO 2 ( g ) rate = k [O 2 ] m [NO] n rate 2 rate 1 [O 2 ] 2 [O 2 ] 1 m 1.10x10 -2 mol/L 2.20x10 -2 mol/L m
