Capitolo 14, Problema 32a

The reaction between ethyl bromide (C2H5Br) and hydroxide ion in ethyl alcohol at 330 K, C2H5Br(alc) + OH-(alc) → C2H5OH(l) + Br-(alc), is first order each in ethyl bromide and hydroxide ion. When [C2H5Br] is 0.0477 M and [OH-] is 0.100 M, the rate of disappearance of ethyl bromide is 1.7×10-7 M/s. (a) What is the value of the rate constant?

Identify the rate law expression based on the given reaction order. Since the reaction is first order in both ethyl bromide and hydroxide ion, the rate law can be expressed as: Rate = k [C2H5Br][OH-].
Substitute the given concentrations and the rate of disappearance into the rate law expression. Here, [C2H5Br] = 0.0477 M, [OH-] = 0.100 M, and Rate = 1.7 * 10^-7 M/s.
Rearrange the rate law equation to solve for the rate constant k. This can be done by dividing both sides of the equation by the product of the concentrations of the reactants: k = Rate / ([C2H5Br][OH-]).
Plug the values into the rearranged equation to find the value of k. Ensure that all units are consistent for concentration (M) and time (s).
The calculated value of k will be in units of M^-1s^-1, which is appropriate given the reaction order and the units of the rate and concentrations.

Concetti chiave

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

Rate Law

The rate law expresses the relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of its reactants. For a reaction that is first order in each reactant, the rate can be described by the equation: Rate = k[C2H5Br][OH-], where k is the rate constant. Understanding the rate law is essential for determining how changes in concentration affect the reaction rate.

Rate Law Fundamentals

First-Order Reactions

A first-order reaction is one where the rate is directly proportional to the concentration of one reactant. In this case, both ethyl bromide and hydroxide ion are first-order, meaning that doubling their concentrations will double the reaction rate. This concept is crucial for calculating the rate constant from the given rate and concentrations.

Rate Constant (k)

The rate constant (k) is a proportionality factor in the rate law that is specific to a given reaction at a specific temperature. It provides insight into the speed of the reaction; a larger k indicates a faster reaction. To find k, one can rearrange the rate law equation using the provided rate and concentrations, which is key to solving the problem.
