General Chemistry - Chemical Kinetics
6 important questions on General Chemistry - Chemical Kinetics
Experimental determination of rate law
Trial 1: [A] = 1 [B] = 1 r = 2
Trial 2: [A] = 1 [B] = 2 r=8.1
Trial 3: [A] = 2 [B] = 2 r=15.9
r2/r1 = (k (1^x)(2^y)) / (k(1^x)(1^y)) = 8.1/2
= 2^y = 4, y = 2
r3/r2 = (k(2^x)(2^y))/(k(1^x)(2^y)) = 15.9/8.1
= 2^x 2, x=1
r = k [A][B]^2
2 = k[1][1]^2, k = 2
r = 2[A][B]^2
Zero order reaction
rate = k
[A] = [A0] - k(t)
halflife: = 1/2 (A0 / k)
1st order reactions
rate = k[A] or k[B]
[At] = [A0] * e ^(-kt)
halflife = ln2 / k = 0.693/k
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
2nd order reactions
rate = k[A]^2, k[B]^2 or k[A][B]
Mixed order reaction
Draw a potential energy diagram, label the activation energy, enthalpy change, heats of reaction, relative energies. show an exothermic and an endothermic reaction
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
