For each of the following cases, identify the order with respect to the reactant, A.
Concepts and reason
Reaction kinetics is governed by laws of kinetics. Answer the questions for the given reaction.
Find the order for the given condition for a reaction.
Fundamentals
Consider a general reaction as follows:
Here, is concentration of species [A], is the concentration of species [B], x and y are the order with respect to species A and B respectively. k is the rate constant for the for the reaction.
For the given reaction sum of the x and y is called order of the reaction denoted by symbol n.
That is, n = x +y. it is an experimentally obtained value.
The order is an integer.
Half-life of a reaction is the time required to consume half the initial reaction mixture.
Every different order reaction has a different half life
Few important points regarding the different order reactions and their half-life are as follows:
Half-life of first order reaction remains constant.
Half-life of zero order reaction decreases with time.
Half-life of second order increases with time.
