Rate Law and Mechanisms

Many reactions occur over a number of step. The slowest of these go determines the enume enjoin of the reaction and is called the give notice (of) determining step. A.          encourage Expression (or Rate Law) For a given reaction:         aA         +         bB                  cC         +         dD         (where a, b, c & d are the stoichiometric                                                                         number - for balancing) Rate         =         k [A]x [B]y                           (x & y gene estimate nothing to do with a, b, c or d)                                                               (k is called the put unvaried) {using square brackets sound a substance, [A], means the intimacy of A in seawall dm-3} The number is always the initial rate and is found by monitoring the compactness of adept of the species. If [C] is being monitored, the rate is nip to . This means we can decree the rate expression as:                                    =         k [A]x [B]y We can unless find the values of x and y by doing experiments. In these experiments we first measure the rate with certain known soaking ups. indeed we vary one absorption while keeping the otherwise invariant and measure the rate again.

If we range [A] and the rate doesnt budge                           x = 0 If we fork-like [A] and the rate also doubles                           x = 1         (because 2 = 21) If we double [A] and the rate increases 4 time                  x = 2         (because 4 = 22) We then keep [A] constant while varying the concentration of the other species and use the analogous logic. Eg Experiment         [A]         [B]         Rate 1         0.1 seawall dm-3         0.1 mol dm-3         0.02 mol dm-3 s-1 2         0.2 mol dm-3         0.1 mol dm-3         0.04 mol dm-3 s-1 3         0.1 mol dm-3         0.2 mol dm-3         0.08 mol...
