Rate of reactions
  1. The general formula for the rate of a reaction is: Amount of product formed or amount of reactants used divided by time. This is basic.
    1. To be able to do this, you need to continuously monitor a reaction and record changes of a certain variable over time.
      1. For example, you can measure the mass of the reaction every 1 minute for a certain period, and then repeat this at different concentrations of a certain reactan.
        1. Reaction order tells you how changing the concentration of a certain reactant changes the rate.
          1. O order means it has no effect, first order means the rate is directly proportional to the concentration and second order means the reaction is 2 squared (4) times faster.
            1. You work the rate out from time by doing 1 divided by time, if both rate doubles as reactant concentration doubles, it is first order etc.
    2. Rate using graph.
      1. YOU can also plot a graph of concentration against time.
        1. To work out the rate, just work out the gradient using, change in y divided by change in x.
      2. The rate equation = k[A] to the power of m x [B] to the power of n.
        1. m and n are the reaction orders e.g. first or second. k is the rate constant.
        2. The initial rates method allows you to work out the rate at 0 seconds by drawing a tangent if it's a curve and then working out its gradient.
          1. The clock reaction
            1. This is where you measure the time taken for a certain amount of product to form while changing the concentration of one reactant.
              1. The iodine clock reaction uses Hydrogen peroxide and Potassium Iodide to form Iodine which instantly reacts with Sodium Thiosulfate.

                Anotações:

                • Sulfuric acid is also required.
                1. Starch is added to mark the endpoint when Sodium Thiosulfate runs out. The solution suddenly turns blue-black as KI reacts with starch.
                  1. Measure time taken for colour change at different concentrations of Hydrogen Peroxide and KI but make sure the overall volume stays the same.
            2. The rate-determining step
              1. Some reactions often have two or more steps.
                1. You have to find the slower of the two steps.
                  1. This will be the rate-determining step.
              2. The Arrhenius equation
                1. The rate constant = Ae to the power of -Ea/RT

                  Anotações:

                  • A = The Arrhenius constant e = The exponential of... Ea = Activation energy R = the gas constant (8.31) T = Temperature (K)
