    Study Notes

    Reaction Rate and Specific Rate Constant

    • Larger the value of the specific rate constant (k), the faster the reaction
    • The value of k is large if the products form quickly
    • The value of k is small if the products form slowly

    Rate Equation and Chemical Equation

    • In general, the exponents in the rate equation do not relate to the coefficients in the chemical equation
    • For single-step reactions with a single activated complex, the exponents are equal to the coefficients

    Units of the Rate Constant (k)

    • Zero order reaction: mol/L.time
    • First order reaction: time‒1
    • Second order reaction: M‒1.time‒1
    • Third order reaction: M‒2.time‒1

    First Order Reaction

    • Rate law of a first order reaction: Rate = k[X]
    • The rate changes in the same proportion as the concentration of the reactant ([X])
    • The rate constant (k) is equal to the slope of the line in a graph of concentration against time

    Law of Conservation of Energy

    • Energy can be converted from one form to another, but it is neither created nor destroyed

    Chemical Potential Energy

    • Energy stored in a substance due to its composition

    Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions

    • In exothermic reactions, chemical potential energy is converted to heat and released
    • In endothermic reactions, heat is absorbed and converted to chemical potential energy

    Specific Heat Capacity

    • The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius
    • The substance with a greater specific heat capacity undergoes a smaller temperature change

    Calculating Heat Absorbed or Released

    • Bomb calorimeter: Used to measure heat flow for solids with low to high temperature reactions (like combustion reactions).
      • Used to determine caloric content of food.

    Reaction Mechanisms

    • Series of steps involved in a chemical reaction
    • Each step represents an elementary reaction
    • Slowest step is the rate-determining step

    Identifying Components of a Reaction Mechanism

    • Reactants: Species consumed in the overall reaction
    • Products: Species formed in the overall reaction
    • Catalyst: Substance that speeds up the reaction without being consumed
    • Intermediates: Species formed and then consumed in the reaction mechanism
