All rates written as time or t . Instantaneous rate is the slope of a concentration vs time plot and is d[A]
shown by the differential equation: dt . Overall rates for forward reactions are shown as POSITIVE rates, d[A]
therefore, all reactants (which have negative rate of change) must have their rates negated dt .
In general for the overall reation:
a A + b B c C + d D

[A] = [B] = + [C] = + [D]

Note that each individual rate is divided by it's coefficient in the balanced chemical equation.
Half-life (t1/2) : The time it takes for the concentration to drop to one half its current value during the course of the reaction. Note that the "current value" is typically the initial starting value - but not always.

rate = ak
rate = ak[A]
rate = ak[A]2
[A]0 - [A]t = akt
ln[A]0 - ln[A]t = akt

Watch out for this! Make sure you knowHOW k is defined for a reaction. It must be known WHICH component that the rate is
being expressed. Is it A? B? C? D? Many times k is given for the overall reaction. If that is the case then you must remember to scale
k by the coefficients (a, b, c, or d) given in order to get the right rates for each component. That is: k = ak?, etc... (this is discussed in
section 15.2 in your textbook)
Temperature dependence of rate (Arrhenius Equation) k = Ae Ea/RT
Here's the straight line plot (y = mx + b) version:

Note this is the typical Arrhenius Equation where you have 2 specific rate consants at 2 specific temperatures. Remember they come in pairs. Also note how the Arrhenius factor A, has factored OUT of the equation.
Here is the version using half-lives instead of k's
ln t1 = Ea

This is still the Arrhenius Equation, EXCEPT we now show TIME in place of rate constant. Time is inversely proportional to rate so the positions are switched. Any common timed event
will work ? half-life is the most common.
