What is the rate equation for the elementary termolecular reaction A + 2B鉄秔roducts? For 3A鉄秔roducts?

Short Answer

Expert verified

For any reaction, the rate is given by the product of the concentration of the reactant, where each reactant concentration is raised to the power of the stoichiometric ratio.

Step by step solution

01

Termolecular reaction

For elementary termolecular reaction \({\bf{A + 2B}} \to {\bf{products}}\).

\({\bf{Rate = }}\left( {\bf{A}} \right){\left( {\bf{B}} \right)^{\bf{2}}}\).

Each concentration term in the rate equation is raised to the power equivalent to the stoichiometry of the particular reactant.

02

Rate of Termolecular reaction involving same reactants

For elementary reaction \({\bf{3A}} \to {\bf{products}}\), the rate of reaction is given by

\({\bf{Rate = }}{\left( {\bf{A}} \right)^{\bf{3}}}\)

If the rate of decomposition of ammonia, \({\bf{N}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}\), at 1150 K is \(2.10 \times 1{0^{ - 6}}mol/L/s\), what is the rate of production of nitrogen and hydrogen?

In a transesterification reaction, a triglyceride reacts with an alcohol to form an ester and glycerol. Many students learn about the reaction between methanol (\({\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{OH}}\)) and ethyl acetate (\({\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{OCOC}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}\)) as a sample reaction before studying the chemical reactions that produce biodiesel:

\({\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{OH + C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{OCOC}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{ - - - C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{OCOC}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{ + C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{OH}}\).The rate law for the reaction between methanol and ethyl acetate is, under certain conditions, determined to be: rate =\(k\left( {{\bf{C}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{OH }}} \right)\). What is the order of reaction with respect to methanol and ethyl acetate, and what is the overall order of reaction?

In the PhET Reactions & Rates (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16PHETreaction) interactive, on the Many Collisions tab, set up a simulation with 15 molecules of A and 10 molecules of BC. Select 鈥淪how Bonds鈥 under Options.

  1. Leave the Initial Temperature at the default setting. Observe the reaction. Is the rate of reaction fast or slow?
  2. Click 鈥淧ause鈥 and then 鈥淩eset All,鈥 and then enter 15 molecules of A and 10 molecules of BC once again. Select 鈥淪how Bonds鈥 under Options. This time, increase the initial temperature until, on the graph, the total average energy line is completely above the potential energy curve. Describe what happens to the reaction
