By the end of this lesson you will be able to; Recall the factors that effect rate of reaction Demonstrate an understanding of the terms rate of reaction, rate equation, order of reaction, rate constant and half life. Starter What four things effect the rate of reaction? Conc. Temp. Catalyst Surface area
Introduction to rates
If a graph of concentration or volume of products or reactants is plotted against time, the gradient will be the rate of reaction. concentration of products
time concentration of reactants
time
Measuring rates
k is the rate constant (units depend of values of m and n) m is the order of reaction with respect to A n is the order of reaction with respect to B. m + n = overall order of the reaction
To determine how [A] affects the rate, several different experiments can be carried out in which [B] is kept constant and [A] is changed. The data can then be used to work out the relationship between rate and [A].
A similar set of experiments can be carried out keeping [A] constant and varying [B] to determine how changing [B] affects the rate of reaction.
