A. Reaction Rate (14.1 to 14.4)

1. rate = Δ[A]/Δt

a. A is a general term for reactant or product

b. usually an absolute value, but not always

d. units depend on units for [ ] and t, but usually M/s

e. same reaction has different rates

2 NO2(g) → 2 NO(g) + O2(g)

rate = Δ[NO2]/Δt = -Δ[NO]/Δt = -2Δ[O2]/Δt

2. rate law: rate = k[A]n

a. k = rate constant

1. depends on nature of reaction (larger k means faster reaction)

2. depends on temperature (k increases with temperature)

b. n = order of reaction (first, second, etc.)

c. multiple reactants: rate = k[A]m[B]n

(overall order = m + n)

d. determined experimentally: process

|write rate laws for each experiment |

|divide rate laws to cancel out all but one reaction order |

|solve for unknown reaction order |

|repeat |

|solve for k |

e. units for k are Mxt-1, where x = (1 – overall order)

[pic]

Reaction Rate Lab

15. Measure the time it takes to consume a reactant while varying the concentrations and conditions of the experiment and use the data to develop a rate law and determine the activation energy.

This experiment involves the reaction: 6 I-(aq) + BrO3-(aq) + 6 H+(aq) → 3 I2(aq) + Br-(aq) + 3 H2O, which is reasonable slow.

a. What is the rate law for this reaction?

| |

In order to determine the rate law, we measure the time it takes a fixed amount of I2 to form under varied conditions. To fix the amount of I2 that is produced, we add a second reaction: I2(aq) + 2 S2O32-(aq) → 2 I-(aq) + S4O62-(aq), which is essentially instantaneous. Thus, the I2 produced in the first reaction is consumed immediately in the second reaction until all the thiosulfate, S2O32-, is consumed. After which, the I2 turns the solution blue as it reacts with the starch indicator. Reaction rate = [S2O32-]/t, where [S2O32-] = 0.00020 M and t = time from when KBrO3 is added until a noticeable blue color appears.

Mix the contents by shaking the test tubes. Wait 2 minutes to be sure that no reaction occurs (turns blue). Add 10 drops of 0.040 M KBrO3 to each test tube and mix. Start timing as soon as the first drop of KBrO3 touches the contents of the test tube and stop timing when you first notice a blue color. Record the time (in seconds) in the table for number 1. Measure the temperatures of the contents of the test tubes and record the average temperature in the table.
