Section 17.1 Chemical Reaction Rates
Are REALLY diamonds forever?
Cdiamond οƒ  Cgraphite
No, they are not forever. This reaction is spontaneous
but very slow.
Formation of H2O?
2 H2(g) + O2(g) οƒ  2 H2O(l)

Non-spontaneous reaction
Requires outside assistance (so rapid there is an explosion
What is a reaction rate?
Rxn rate = the change over time in concentration of reactant(s)
- Requires outside assistance (this rxn happens so rapidly there is an explosion

Q. What is the general trend in the rates show above?
- As time increases, the rate decreases (this evident by the decrease
in slope of the tangent line).
- Rate changes over time so the line will always be curved rather than
linear
Notes about the tangent line:
1) Line should touch at one
point
2) Other 4 lines are only used
as a guide
3) Reasonable distance from
the chosen time

rate?
Step 1: Plot the data
Step 2: Draw a tangent to the curve at the instantaneous point in time (see next slide)
Step 3: Find the ____________________________
- I recommend creating the plot in Excel and using the lines (Go to “Insert” then “Shapes” to draw
them straight to the axis. You can modify the axis to go by smaller increments so it’s easier for you
to estimate the values. Since you’ll have to upload graphs for online exams this is better practice than
doing it by hand.
- I like adding tick marks that cross the axis. Here is a short video how to make this graph:

Section 17.2 Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
Five factors affecting rates:
1. Nature of reactants
2. Surface area
3. Concentration
4. Temperature
5. Presence of a catalyst
You are responsible to think about how
and why these effect the rate of a
reaction.

Section 17.3 Rate Laws
Rate laws are
Mathematical expressions that describe the relationship between rate and concentration
In general:
rate = k[A]x[B]y[C]z
[A], [B], and [C] = molar concentrations of reactants
k = rate constant (for specific reactions and temperatures)
x=
y=
Reaction orders
z=
We would say “The reaction is xth order in A, yth order in B, and zth order in C
OVERALL REACTION ORDER:
IMPORTANT:
x+y+z
The rate order is NOT related to stoichiometry but it is related to mechanism (Section 17.6)
Ex) What do the following rate laws describe?
a) rate = k[H2O2]
-describes a reaction that is _____ order in H2O2 and _____ order
overall
b) rate = k [H+][OH-]
-describes a reaction that is _____ order in H+ and _____ order overall
Q. The rate law for the reaction: H2(g)+2NO(g) ⟢ N2O(g)+H2O(g)
has been determined to be rate = k[NO]2[H2]. What are the orders with
respect to each reactant, and what is the overall order of the reaction?
see next slide for answer

Q. An experiment shows that the reaction of nitrogen dioxide with
carbon monoxide is second order in NO2 and zero order in CO at 100 °C

carbon monoxide is second order in NO2 and zero order in CO at 100 °C
NO2(g)+CO(g) ⟢ NO(g)+CO2(g)
What is the rate law for the reaction?
1
Rate = k[NO2]2[CO]0
Rate = k[NO2]2
Overall order = 2nd
recall: x0 = 1
Method of Initial Rates (MIR)
- this method is more helpful (involves algebra)
- Requires:
1) two sets of rate data that differ in the concentration of only one reactant and
2) set up a ratio of the two rates and the two rate laws.
3) simplify ratio and solve for unknown coefficient of the concentration that varies
Interpreting Results from MIR
• 1st order
• Reactant conc. has a proportional, direct effect on rate.
• 2nd order
• Reactant conc. has a squared effect on the rate.
• 0th order
• Reactant conc. has no effect on the rate.
About rate laws:
1) Rate laws are always determined experimentally.
2) Reaction order is always defined in terms of REACTANT (not product)
concentrations.
3) The order of the reactant is NOT related to the stoichiometric
coefficient of the reactant. If it does happen to be the same it is just a
coincidence!

First, write what the rate law would be: rate = k[F2]x[ClO2]y
Second, compare trials to find orders with respect to reactants:
1) compare trials 1 and 3 with respect to F2 (because [ClO2] is constant)
Comparison: [F2] doubles as does the rate thus the effect is 1:1 so F2 is first order
2) Compare trials 1 and 2 with respect to ClO2
Comparison: [ClO2] quadruples as does the rate thus the effect is 1:1 So ClO2 is first order
Note: overall order = 1 +1 = 2nd order
thus the rate law looks like
rate = k[F2][ClO2]
After doing this, see if you can calculate the rate constant. Take one of the trials and plug into rate law

Solve for rate constant (continued)
Q2. Ozone in the upper atmosphere is depleted when it reacts with

• If the reaction rate varies _____________________________
with
the concentration of one reactant, or is dependent on the
concentration of both reactants – the reaction is
2nd order
__________________.
• If the reaction rate varies independently of the concentration of any
0th order
reactants – the reaction is __________________.
Integrated Rate Laws
- another way that relates concentration of reactants and time.
- used to determine the amount of reactant or product after a period of
time
- used to estimate the amount of time required for a reaction to
proceed
Ex) nuclear chemists and physicists would use integrated rate
laws to determine the amount of time a radioactive material must be
stored to reach safe quantities.
- obtained by using calculus therefore only studying, 1st, 2nd, and 0th
order reactions
First Order Reactions
Recall:
βˆ†π΄
Rate = −
βˆ†π‘‘
= k [A]
math (integration)
The integrated rate law can be written in one of two forms:
[A]t = [A]0 e−kt
or
ln [A]t = −kt + ln [A]0
Where [A]0 = initial concentration of A
[A]t = Concentration of A at time, t
Y
Graphically:
= mx + b
Why take ln of both sides?
Because we can get a
straight line which = NICE
Notice that first order
reactions have a negative
slope
Ex) The reaction 2A ⟢ B is 1st-order in A with a rate constant of
2.8×10−2 s−1 at 80 °C. How long will it take for the concentration of A to
decrease from 0.88 M to 0.14 M ?

2.8×10−2 s−1 at 80 °C. How long will it take for the concentration of A to
decrease from 0.88 M to 0.14 M ?
Second Order Reactions
A rxn is 2nd order if the overall reaction order is 2. What are these scenarios for A+BC?
It can be:
rate = k [A]2
or
rate = k[A][B]
or
We will focus on the first one for simplicity reasons.

Q. The reaction of butadiene gas (C4H6) with itself produces C8H12 gas
as follows:
2 C4H6(g)⟢ C8H12(g)
The reaction is second order with a rate constant equal to
5.76 x 10−2 L·mol-1min-1 under certain conditions. If the initial
concentration of butadiene is 0.200 M, what is the concentration
remaining after 10.0 min?

to determine order of a reaction using Excel so you might as well practice hint hint)

Notice the y-axis
2) Check if it’s linear
Since the graph is linear using the 2nd order rate law, the reaction is 2nd order

Zero order Reactions
A rxn is 0th order if the rxn is completely independent of concentration
of any of the reactants thus the rate law is written:
rate = k[A]0[B]0
Simplified to:
rate = k
The integrated rate law for a 0th order reaction is
math (integration)
[A]t = −kt + [A]0
The Half-Life of a Reaction
• The half-life, t½, is the time required for the concentration of a
reactant to
decrease to half of its initial concentration
________________________________________________________
• The half-life of a reaction depends on the
order of the reaction
__________________________.
Half-life of a first order reaction:
ln[A]t = -kt + ln[A]0
ln[A]0 – ln(2) = -kt + ln[A]0
4) More algebra
ln[A]0 – ln(2) = -kt + ln[A]0

The units for the rate constant are consistent with that of first order. Use the first order equation for half-life.

concentration of NOCl is 0.15 M? The rate constant for this reaction is
