Conclusion: No, a ln(conc) vs time plot is NOT linear and therefore these
1.38629
data do not exhibit 1st order behavior. We will not go beyond this
reasoning – you do not need to figure out what order this is – just note
that it is not 1st order.
So now we know that if we have a linear plot of
ln(conc) vs time, then the reaction is first order.

And then integrating.
You do not need to know how this was derived – you need the equation in
the box above.
Rearranging the equation gives:
ln[A] = ln[A]0 – kt
ln[A]/[A]0 = -kt

The decomposition of N2O5(g) to NO2(g) and O2(g) obeys first-order
kinetics. Assuming the form of the rate law is:

made but actually talking about how it is made.

Vocabulary: A catalyst is something that speeds a reaction
without being consumed itself. Biological catalysts are called
enzymes.

4. I’m not sure
The forward reaction is _____ and the reverse reaction is ________.
a) endothermic; exothermic
b) endothermic; endothermic
c) exothermic; endothermic
d) exothermic; exothermic
The energy of activation of the reverse reaction is
a) EA + EC
b) EA
c) EC
− Ea
k = Ae RT
rate = k[A][B]
Note that this is the source of great confusion. IF, IF, IF, the
reaction proceeds in a single step, then the reaction is said to
reflect the actual molecularity of the process. So If the
reaction is elementary, then by definition it is a single step.

k1/k-1 = K = 2
[ NO ]
K is called the equilibrium constant, and will be the subject of
the next chapter. K is just a number, it equals the ratio of
forward to back rate constants:
K = k1/k-1
second step slow:
•for multi‑step reactions, the rate law will depend on the reaction
mechanism ‑
1.Rate = k [H2][ICl]
2.Rate = k[H2][ICl]2
3.Neither of the above
4.It is not possible to determine the rate law without
more information.

A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction but doesn’t
affect the yield. In view of the relationship between
the rate constants and the equilibrium constant, how
is this possible?
1. The catalyst increases kf, but since K only depends on
temperature the yield is unaffected.
2. The catalyst speeds both the back and forward reactions, so
the ratio of rate constants remains the same.
3. A catalyst doesn’t affect ΔH° or ΔS°, so K is unchanged.

H2 + NO ½N2 + H2O is rate = k[H2][NO]2.
Is the mechanism below consistent with the observed rate
law?
1. Rate = k[O3(g)][O(g)]
2. Rate = k[O3(g)]2
