REACTION RATE

Reaction Order

1. If the reaction rate is not affected by the concentration of the substance, what is the total
reaction order? Also include the total reaction order graph!
Answer:
The reaction rate is not influenced by the concentration of the substance, then the total
reaction order is zero. Graphically it can be described as below

2. An experiment was carried out by reacting 2NO + Br2 → 2NOBr, so the following data
were obtained

Eksperiment [NO] (M) [Br2] (M) v (M.s-1)

1 0.1 0.1 10
2 0.2 0.1 20
3 0.3 0.2 120
From the data above, determine the equation for the reaction rate by finding the value of
each reagent!
Answer:
Step I
Look for the NO reaction order from experimental data that contains a fixed Br2
concentration.
Data that contains fixed values is Experiments 1 and 2
Then the equation:
V 1 k . [NO ]1x .[Br 2 ]1 y
=
V 2 k .[ NO ]2x .[Br 2 ]2 y
x
10 ( 0.1 )
=
20 ( 0.4 ) x
 x
1 1
=
2 2 ()
x=1
Step II
Looking for the Br2 reaction order, select any data because no one contains NO
concentrations with a fixed value.
The data taken are experiments 1 and 3
Then the equation:
V 1 k . [NO ]1x .[Br 2 ]1 y
=
V 3 k . [NO ]3x .[Br 2 ]3 y
x y
10 ( 0.1 ) .(0.1)
=
20 ( 0.3 )x .(0.2) y

=
12 3()().

Then the reaction rate equation from the data can be written as follows:

v=k [ NO ] [Br ]2

Reaction rate setting

1. Below are the experimental data for the following reactions:

A2(g) + 3B2(g) →2AB3(g)

N [A2] M [B2] M Reaction Rate

O (M/seconds)
-2 -2
1 10 2 x 10 2 x 10-1
-2 -2
2 2 x 10 2 x 10 2 x 10-1
3 2 x 10-2 4 x 10-2 8 x 10-1
From what data is the value of the reaction rate constant?
Answer:
Step I
Determine the order of each reagent
 Order A

y=2
Step II
Write down the equation for the rate of reaction
V = k [A]x[B]y
V = k [B]2
Step III
Entering an equation into one of the experimental data (experimental data 1)
2
V1 = k [ B ]1
V1 2× 10−1 2× 10−1 2 ×10−1
k= 2
= = = =5 ×102
−2 2 −2 2 −4
[B ]1 ( 2 ×10 ) ( 2 ×10 ) 4 ×10

So the value of the reaction rate constant from the above experiment is 5 ×102

Mention the factors that influence the price of the reaction rate constant!
Answer:
  There are 3 factors which influence the rate of reaction: namely:
 Types of reagents
 Temperature
 Catalyst

Reaction Rate

1. At temperature 273oC, reaction takes place where the equation can be written as follow
2NO(aq) + Br2(g) → 2NOBr(g)
From the reaction above the following data are obtained

If the concentration of NO = 0.01 M and Br2 = 0.03 M, the reaction rate that occurs is ...
Answer:
Step I
Look for NO order (data taken 2 and 3)
