Sample Exercise 6.

1 Calculating an Average Rate of Reaction


From the data given in the caption of this Figure 6.1, calculate the average
rate at which A disappears over the time interval from 20 s to 40 s.

Figure 6.1.

Solution
Analyze: We are given the concentration of A at 20 s (0.54 M) and at 40
s (0.30 M) and asked to calculate the average rate of reaction over this
time interval.
Plan: The average rate is given by the change in concentration, Δ[A],
divided by the corresponding change in time, Δt. Because A is a
reactant, a minus sign is used in the calculation to make the rate a
positive quantity.
Practice Exercise
For the reaction pictured in Figure , calculate the average rate of
appearance of B over the time interval from 0 to 40 s.
Answer: 1.8 × 10–2 M/s

Sample Exercise 6.2 Calculating an Instantaneous Rate of Reaction
Using this Figure 6.2., calculate the instantaneous rate of disappearance
of C4H9Cl at t = 0 (the initial rate).
Solution
Analyze: We are asked to determine an instantaneous rate from a graph of
concentration versus time.
Plan: To obtain the instantaneous rate at t = 0, we must determine the
slope of the curve at t = 0. The tangent is drawn on the graph.

Sample Exercise 6.2 Calculating an Instantaneous Rate of Reaction
Using Figure 6.2, calculate the instantaneous rate of disappearance of
C4H9Cl at t = 0 (the initial rate).
Solution
The slope of this straight line equals the change in the vertical axis
divided by the corresponding change in the horizontal axis (that is,
change in molarity over change in time).
Solve: The straight line falls from [C4H9Cl] = 0.100 M to 0.060 M in the
time change from 0 s to 210 s, as indicated by the tan triangle shown in
Figure 14.4. Thus, the initial rate is

Sample Exercise 6.4 Relating a Rate Law to the Effect of concentration on Rate

Consider a reaction A + B → C for which rate = k[A][B]2. Each of the


following boxes represents a reaction mixture in which A is shown as red
spheres and B as purple ones. Rank these mixtures in order of increasing
rate of reaction.

Solution

Analyze: We are given three boxes containing different numbers of


spheres representing mixtures containing different reactant
concentrations. We are asked to use the given rate law and the
compositions of the boxes to rank the mixtures in order of increasing
reaction rates.
Plan: Because all three boxes have the same volume, we can put the
number of spheres of each kind into the rate law and calculate the rate
for each box.
Solve: Box 1 contains 5 red spheres and 5 purple spheres, giving the
following rate:

Plan: The overall reaction order is the sum of the exponents in the rate

algebra to solve for k.

in CHCl3 and one-half order in Cl2. The overall reaction order is three

Sample Exercise 6.6 Determining a Rate Law from Initial Rate Data

The initial rate of a reaction A + B → C was measured for several


different starting concentrations of A and B, and the results are as
follows:

Using these data, determine (a) the rate law for the reaction, (b) the
rate constant, (c) the rate of the reaction when [A] = 0.050 M and [B] =
Solution
0.100 M.
Analyze: We are given a table of data that relates concentrations of
reactants with initial rates of reaction and asked to determine (a) the
rate law, (b) the rate constant, and (c) the rate of reaction for a set
of concentrations not listed in the table.
Plan: (a) We assume that the rate law has the following form: Rate =
k[A]m[B]n so we must use the given data to deduce the reaction orders m
and n. We do so by determining how changes in the concentration change
the rate. (b) Once we know m and n, we can use the rate law and one of
the sets of data to determine the rate constant k. (c) Now that we know
both the rate constant and the reaction orders, we can use the rate law
with the given concentrations to calculate rate.

Sample Exercise 6.6 Determining a Rate Law from Initial Rate Data
Solution (continued)
Solve: (a) As we move from experiment 1 to experiment 2, [A] is held
constant and [B] is doubled. Thus, this pair of experiments shows how
[B] affects the rate, allowing us to deduce the order of the rate law
with respect to B. Because the rate remains the same when [B] is
doubled, the concentration of B has no effect on the reaction rate. The

affects rate. Holding [B] constant
while doubling [A] increases the
rate fourfold. This result indicates
that rate is proportional to [A]2
(that is, the reaction is second
order in A). Hence, the rate law is

This rate law could be reached in a


more formal way by taking the ratio
of the rates from two experiments:

Because 2m = 4, we conclude that

Because [B] is not part of the rate law, it is irrelevant to the rate, if
there is at least some B present to react with A.

Check: A good way to check our rate law is to use the concentrations in
experiment 2 or 3 and see if we can correctly calculate the rate. Using
data from experiment 3, we have

Thus, the rate law correctly reproduces the data, giving both the correct
number and the correct units for the rate.

Sample Exercise 6.7 Using the Integrated First-Order Rate Law
The decomposition of a certain insecticide in water follows first-order
kinetics with a rate constant of 1.45 yr–1 at 12 °C. A quantity of this
insecticide is washed into a lake on June 1, leading to a concentration of
5.0 × 10–7 g/cm3. Assume that the average temperature of the lake is 12 °C.
(a) What is the concentration of the insecticide on June 1 of the

insecticide to decrease to 3.0 × 10–7 g/cm3?
Analyze: We are given the rate constant for a reaction that obeys first-
order kinetics, as well as information about concentrations and times,
and asked to calculate how much reactant (insecticide) remains after one
year. We must also determine the time interval needed to reach a
particular insecticide concentration. Because the exercise gives time in
(a) and asks for time in (b), we know that the integrated rate law
equation for first -order reaction , is required.
Plan: (a) We are given k = 1.45 yr–1, t = 1.00 yr and [insecticide]0 =
5.0 × 10–7 g/cm3, and so Equation 14.13 can be solved for [insecticide]t.
