The rate is directly proportional to reactant A
Rate Law helps us calculate the rate of a reaction.
where: k rate constant [A] concentration of Ax reaction order
Rate = k[A]x
**The rate constant (k) and the order (x) can only be determined experimentally**
It is an expression that shows the quantitative effect of concentration on reaction rate.
Rate = k[A]x
The rate constant (k) is specific for each reaction at a specific temperature.
Temperature is the only factor to affect the rate constant.
Order
Reaction
The orders of a reaction (x and y) indicate how much each [reactant] affects the rate of a reaction.
A + B Products
Rate = k[A]x[B]y
Each reactant can affect the rate differently
First order reaction ( x = 1)
The reaction rate is directly proportional to changes in reactant concentration.
[A] is doubled - rate doubles 2 = 21 [A] is tripled - rate triples 3 = 31
Rate = k[A]1x
Second order reaction (x = 2)
The reaction rate is proportional to changes in reactant concentration squared.
Doubling [A] - increase rate 4x 4 = 22
Tripling [A] - rate increase 9x 9 = 32
Rate = k[A]2
Zero order reaction (x = 0)
The rate does not depend on the [A]. • Changing [A] does NOT change the rate.
Third order reaction (x = 3)
The reaction rate is proportional to changes in reactant concentration cubed.
**NOT included in the rate law if determined to be zero order**
Rate = k[A]3
Rate = k
Overall order of reaction is the sum of the orders:
x + y = overall reaction order
Rate = k[A][B]2
1st order + 2nd order = 3rd order overall
Calculating Rate Law
Several ways to determine the rate law:
• differential rate law - uses calculus
• integrated rate law – uses graphing software
• initial rates method – uses data tables
Determining rate law:
Measure the effect of changes in concentration of one reactant on rate, while
H2O2 + 2 HI 2 H2O + I2
Rate Law is related to stoichiometry. BUT…
Usually cannot be determined from overall reaction.
keeping the other reactant constant.
Common Sense Approach
rate = k[H2O2] [HI]
rate = k[H2O2] [HI]

1 H2O2 + 2 HI 2 H2O + I2
2x 2x2x
Doesn’t agree with stoichiometry

a. Write the rate law for this reaction.b. Calculate the value of the rate constant (k).c. Calculate the rate for Trial #5.d. Calculate the concentration of A in Trial #6.
a. Write the rate law for this reaction. rate = k[A][B]2

b. Calculate the value of the rate constant (k).
To find the value of k, we use that data from ANY trial.
rate = k[A][B]2
Don’t include units for k.
c. Calculate the rate for Trial #5.
rate = k[A][B]2
rate = (200)(0.50 mol/L)(0.40 mol/L)2
rate = 16.0 mol/Ls
d. Calculate the concentration of A in Trial #6.
rate = k[A][B]2

Conclusion: Everything in the Rate Law must be determined experimentally:
1. Write a basic rate law with all reactants
2. Determine the order for each reactant (1, 2, 0)
3. Re-write the rate law with the determined order of reaction for each
4. Solve any problems
