For a first order reaction, A products Rate(r) = k[A] k =
k =
So,
= 23.1 min
For a first order reaction, A products Rate(r) = k[A] k =
k =
So,
= 23.1 min
Arrhenius equation k =
log k = log A -
Comparing it with equation of straight line i.e., y = mx + C On plotting log k vs
, we get a straight line, the slope indicates the value of activation energy.
As r = k[A] n if n = 0 r = k[A] 0 or r = k thus for zero order reactions rate is equal to the rate constant.
For first order reaction k =
k =
= 2.303 log 4 ....(
1) Let t 1 hour is required for changing the concentration of A from 0.9 mole to 0.675 mole of B.
Remaining mole of A = 0.9 – 0.675 = 0.225 k =
.....(2) From equation (1) and (2)
= 2.303 log 4
= 1 hr
The energy of activation of reverse reaction is less than or more than energy of activation E
of forward reaction
Because it depends upon the nature of reaction. If
, reaction is endothermic. or
, reaction is exothermic.
2A B + C If it is zero order reaction r = k [A] o . i.e the rate remains same at any concentration of 'A'. i.e independent upon concentration of A.
From Arrhenius equation, k = Ae –E a /RT The activation energy of the reaction in the presence of enzyme is different from E a obtained in laboratory.
For the reaction; 2N 2 O 5 4NO 2 + O 2 This is a first order reaction. rate = k [N 2 O 5 ] ; [N 2 O 5 ] =
=
= 3
Enzymes act like catalyst in biochemical reactions.
Presence of an enzyme increases the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reactant.
