Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the rate law expression for the reaction: \( \text{Rate} = k[A]^0[B]^{1/2}[C]^2 \).
Recognize that the reaction is zero order in A, meaning changes in [A] do not affect the rate.
Understand that the reaction is one-half order in B, meaning the rate is proportional to the square root of [B].
Note that the reaction is second order in C, meaning the rate is proportional to the square of [C].
Calculate the factor by which the rate changes when [C] is doubled: \( \left(2[C]\right)^2 = 4[C]^2 \), so the rate increases by a factor of 4.

Concetti chiave

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

Order of Reaction

The order of a reaction refers to the power to which the concentration of a reactant is raised in the rate law. It indicates how the rate of reaction is affected by the concentration of that reactant. In this case, the reaction is zero order in A, one-half order in B, and second order in C, meaning that changes in the concentration of A do not affect the rate, while B and C do, with C having the most significant impact.

Rate Law

The rate law expresses the relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentrations of its reactants. It is typically written in the form Rate = k[A]^m[B]^n[C]^p, where k is the rate constant, and m, n, and p are the orders of the reaction with respect to each reactant. For this reaction, the rate law can be expressed as Rate = k[B]^(1/2)[C]^2, highlighting how the rate depends on the concentrations of B and C.

Effect of Concentration Change on Reaction Rate

When the concentration of a reactant is changed, the reaction rate changes according to its order. For example, if the concentration of C is doubled in this reaction, the rate will increase by a factor of 2^2 (since C is second order), resulting in a fourfold increase in the reaction rate. This principle is crucial for predicting how changes in reactant concentrations will affect the overall speed of the reaction.
