first order linear graph
|
ln(c) vs t
linear, slope = -k |
|
second order linear graph
|
1/c vs t
slope = k |
|
check what order a reaction is
|
ln(-rate) vs ln(c)
slope = order |
|
formula for rate law of C2F4 to C4F8
|
2C2F4 -> C4F8
(1/2)rate = kc^2 |
|
principle of detailed balance
|
ratio of forward to reverse rate constants = equilibrium constant for reaction
|
|
reaction mechanisms
|
-rate may be determine by elementary steps (which ones in equilib, fast, slow)
-cannot prove correct reaction mechanism |
|
Lindemann Mechamisn
|
-unimolecular decomposition of H2CO
1. H2CO + M <-> H2CO* + M 2. H2CO* -> H2 + CO where M is a molecule H2CO collides with, H2CO* is activated molecule rate law governing [H2CO] depends on [H2CO*], which is assumed to be constant rate varies with pressure high pressure = dependence on [H2CO] low pressure = dependence on [M], which goes to zero |
|
chain reaction
|
self sustaining
initiation branching propagation termination? |
|
autocatalysis
|
-product is one of the reactants
ex: A + B -> 2B -sigmodal dependence of [B]: induction period, reaction occurs fast, reaction slows down (approaches zero) |
|
Lotka Mechanism
|
-oscillating reactions
-first part of reaction is autocatalytic |
