Capitolo 14, Problema 50a

Sucrose 1C12H22O112, commonly known as table sugar, reacts in dilute acid solutions to form two simpler sugars, glucose and fructose, both of which have the formula C6H12O6. At 23 C and in 0.5 M HCl, the following data were obtained for the disappearance of sucrose: Time (min) 3C12H22o11 4 1M2 0 0.316 39 0.274 80 0.238 140 0.190 210 0.146 (a) Is the reaction first order or second order with respect to 3C12H22O114?

We need to determine the order of the reaction with respect to sucrose (C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}). The data provided shows the concentration of sucrose at different times. We will use this data to determine if the reaction is first order or second order.
For a first-order reaction, the rate law is: \( \text{Rate} = k [\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11}] \). For a second-order reaction, the rate law is: \( \text{Rate} = k [\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11}]^2 \).
For a first-order reaction, the integrated rate law is: \( \ln [\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11}] = -kt + \ln [\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11}]_0 \). For a second-order reaction, the integrated rate law is: \( \frac{1}{[\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11}]} = kt + \frac{1}{[\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11}]_0} \).
Plot \( \ln [\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11}] \) versus time for a first-order reaction and \( \frac{1}{[\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11}]} \) versus time for a second-order reaction. The plot that results in a straight line indicates the order of the reaction.
Determine which plot is linear. If the plot of \( \ln [\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11}] \) versus time is linear, the reaction is first order. If the plot of \( \frac{1}{[\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11}]} \) versus time is linear, the reaction is second order.>

Concetti chiave

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

Reaction Order

Reaction order refers to the power to which the concentration of a reactant is raised in the rate law of a chemical reaction. It indicates how the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of reactants. A first-order reaction has a linear relationship between the concentration of one reactant and the rate, while a second-order reaction involves a squared concentration term, indicating a more complex relationship.

Average Bond Order

Rate Law

The rate law is an equation that relates the rate of a chemical reaction to the concentration of its reactants. It is typically expressed in the form 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. Determining the rate law is essential for understanding how changes in concentration affect the speed of the reaction.

Integrated Rate Laws

Integrated rate laws provide a mathematical relationship between the concentration of reactants and time, allowing for the determination of reaction order through experimental data. For first-order reactions, the integrated form is ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]0, while for second-order reactions, it is 1/[A] = kt + 1/[A]0. Analyzing concentration versus time data using these equations helps identify the order of the reaction.
