Capitolo 14, Problema 29a

The decomposition reaction of N2O5 in carbon tetrachloride is 2 N2O5 → 4 NO2 + O2. The rate law is first order in N2O5. At 64°C the rate constant is 4.82 × 10-3 s-1. (a) Write the rate law for the reaction.

Identify the order of the reaction with respect to N2O5, which is given as first order.
Recall that the general form of a rate law for a first-order reaction is: rate = k[A], where k is the rate constant and [A] is the concentration of the reactant.
Substitute the given reactant, N2O5, into the rate law expression. The rate law becomes: rate = k[N2O5].
Use the given rate constant value, k = 4.82 \(\times\) 10^{-3} \(\text{ s}\)^{-1}, to complete the rate law expression.
The final rate law for the decomposition of N2O5 is: rate = 4.82 \(\times\) 10^{-3} \(\text{ s}\)^{-1} [\(\text{N}\)_2\(\text{O}\)_5].

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Rate Law

The rate law of a chemical reaction expresses the relationship between the rate of the reaction and the concentration of its reactants. It is typically formulated as rate = k[A]^m[B]^n, where k is the rate constant, and m and n are the orders of the reaction with respect to reactants A and B. In this case, since the reaction is first order in N2O5, the rate law will reflect that dependency.

Rate Law Fundamentals

Order of Reaction

The order of a reaction indicates how the rate is affected by the concentration of reactants. A first-order reaction means that the rate is directly proportional to the concentration of one reactant raised to the first power. In the given reaction, the first-order nature in N2O5 implies that doubling its concentration will double the reaction rate.

Rate Constant (k)

The rate constant (k) is a proportionality factor in the rate law that is specific to a particular reaction at a given temperature. It reflects the speed of the reaction; higher values of k indicate faster reactions. In this scenario, the rate constant is given as 4.82 * 10^-3 s^-1 at 64°C, which is crucial for calculating the reaction rate.
