Reaction rate
The average rate is the rate over a period of time.
The rate of reaction at a given time (specified time) is
called an instantaneous rate of reaction.
The instantaneous rate at the beginning of a reaction
is called the initial rate of reaction.
Instantaneous rate is determined from a graph of
concentration vs time by drawing a line tangent to the
curve at that particular time (at the point concerned)

ORDER OF REACTION
Order of reaction is defined as the power to
which the concentration of a reactant is raised in
the rate equation.
The order of a reactant is not related to the stoichiometric
coefficients of the reactants in the balanced chemical
equation. It can be only determined experimentally
Rate = k [A]x[B]y
Order of reaction with respect to A is x
Order of reaction with respect to B is y
The exponents x, y, can be integers,
fractions or decimal or negative values.
22
Example
For each of the following reactions, determine the
reaction order with respect to each reactant and the
overall order from the given rate law.
(a)

The reaction order respect to O2 : 1

Rate = k [A]x

Rate = k [A]0
Rate = k
Rate is not dependent on [A]
ii) If x= 1
Rate = k [A]1
Assume [A]i = 1.0M,
Rate1 = k (1.0M)
If the [A] is doubled from 1.0M to 2.0M,
Rate2 = k (2.0M)
= 2k(1.0M)
Rate2 = 2 Rate1
Doubling the [A] will double the rate of reaction.
iii) If x = 2
Rate = k[A]2
Assume [A]i = 1.0 M,
Rate1 = k (1.0 M)2
If the [A] is doubled from 1.0 M to 2.0 M,

Solution
We need to plot ln k (on the y-axis) versus 1/T( on
the x-axis). From the given data we obtain
ln k
1/T (K-1)
