as those displayed in Table 14.2. The table lists initial rate data for four experiments in which the reaction
was run at pH 7.0 and 25C but with different initial concentrations of cisplatin. Because the reaction rate
increases with increasing cisplatin concentration, we know this cannot be a zeroth-order reaction.
Comparing Experiments 1 and 2 in Table 14.2 shows that the reaction rate doubles [(1.8 105 M/min)
(9.0 106 M/min) = 2.0] when the concentration of cisplatin is doubled (from 0.0060 M to 0.012 M).
Similarly, comparing Experiments 1 and 4 shows that the reaction rate increases by a factor of 5
[(4.5 105 M/min) (9.0 106 M/min) = 5.0] when the concentration of cisplatin is increased by a factor
of 5 (from 0.0060 M to 0.030 M). Because the reaction rate is directly proportional to the concentration of
the reactant, the exponent of the cisplatin concentration in the rate law must be 1, so the rate law is rate
= k[cisplatin]1. Thus the reaction is first order. Knowing this, we can calculate the rate constant using the
differential rate law for a first-order reaction and the data in any row of Table 14.2. For example,
substituting the values for Experiment 3 into Equation 14.19,
Table 14.2 Rates of Hydrolysis of Cisplatin as a Function of Concentration at pH 7.0 and 25C
Knowing the rate constant for the hydrolysis of cisplatin and the rate constants for subsequent reactions
that produce species that are highly toxic enables hospital pharmacists to provide patients with solutions
that contain only the desired form of the drug.

Sulfuryl chloride (SO2Cl2) decomposes to SO2 and Cl2 by the following reaction:
Data for the reaction at 320C are listed in the following table. Calculate the reaction order with regard to sulfuryl chlo
for the reaction.
We can also use the integrated rate law to determine the reaction rate for the hydrolysis of cisplatin. To do
this, we examine the change in the concentration of the reactant or the product as a function of time at a
single initial cisplatin concentration. Part (a) in Figure 14.12 shows plots for a solution that originally
contained 0.0100 M cisplatin and was maintained at pH 7 and 25C. The concentration of cisplatin
decreases smoothly with time, and the concentration of chloride ion increases in a similar way. When we
plot the natural logarithm of the concentration of cisplatin versus time, we obtain the plot shown in part (b)
in Figure 14.12. The straight line is consistent with the behavior of a system that obeys a first-order rate
law. We can use any two points on the line to calculate the slope of the line, which gives us the rate
constant for the reaction. Thus taking the points from part (a) in Figure 14.12 for t = 100 min ([cisplatin] =
0.0086 M) and t = 1000 min ([cisplatin] = 0.0022 M),

(4.76)900min=1.51103min1k=1.5103min1
The slope is negative because we are calculating the rate of disappearance of cisplatin. Also, the rate
constant has units of min1 because the times plotted on the horizontal axes in parts (a) and (b) in Figure
14.12 are in minutes rather than seconds.
The reaction order and the magnitude of the rate constant we obtain using the integrated rate law are
exactly the same as those we calculated earlier using the differential rate law. This must be true if the
experiments were carried out under the same conditions.

We will illustrate the use of these graphs by considering the thermal decomposition of NO 2 gas at elevated
temperatures, which occurs according to the following reaction:
(2NO2(g)2NO(g)+O2(g)(1.1)(1.1)(2NO2(g)2NO(g)+O2(g)
Experimental data for this reaction at 330C are listed in Table 14.5; they are provided as [NO2], ln[NO2],
and 1/[NO2] versus time to correspond to the integrated rate laws for zeroth-, first-, and second-order
reactions, respectively. The actual concentrations of NO 2 are plotted versus time in part (a) in Figure 14.15.
Because the plot of [NO2] versus t is not a straight line, we know the reaction is not zeroth order in NO 2. A
plot of ln[NO2] versus t (part (b) in Figure 14.15) shows us that the reaction is not first order in NO 2 because
a first-order reaction would give a straight line. Having eliminated zeroth-order and first-order behavior, we
construct a plot of 1/[NO2] versus t (part (c) in Figure 14.15). This plot is a straight line, indicating that the
reaction is second order in NO2.

This reaction is carried out in a CCl 4 solution at 45C. The concentrations of N 2O5 as a function of time are
listed in the following table, together with the natural logarithms and reciprocal N 2O5 concentrations. Plot a
graph of the concentration versus t, ln concentration versus t, and 1/concentration versus t and then
determine the rate law and calculate the rate constant.
Strategy:
A Use the data in the table to separately plot concentration, the natural logarithm of the concentration,
and the reciprocal of the concentration (the vertical axis) versus time (the horizontal axis). Compare the
graphs with those in Figure 14.16 to determine the reaction order.
B Write the rate law for the reaction. Using the appropriate data from the table and the linear graph
corresponding to the rate law for the reaction, calculate the slope of the plotted line to obtain the rate
constant for the reaction.
SOLUTION
A Here are plots of [N2O5] versus t, ln[N2O5] versus t, and 1/[N2O5] versus t:
The plot of ln[N2O5] versus t gives a straight line, whereas the plots of [N 2O5] versus t and 1/[N2O5]
versus t do not. This means that the decomposition of N2O5 is first order in [N2O5].
rate = k[N2O5]
Calculating the rate constant is straightforward because we know that the slope of the plot of ln[A]
versus t for a first-order reaction is k. We can calculate the slope using any two points that lie on the line
in the plot of ln[N2O5] versus t. Using the points for t = 0 and 3000 s,

Answer:
Summary
For a zeroth-order reaction, a plot of the concentration of any reactant versus time is a straight line with a
slope of k. For a first-order reaction, a plot of the natural logarithm of the concentration of a reactant
versus time is a straight line with a slope of k. For a second-order reaction, a plot of the inverse of the
concentration of a reactant versus time is a straight line with a slope of k.

Glossary of Terms
Stoichiometry determines the molar ratios of reactants and products in an overall chemical reaction. We express
the stoichiometry as a balanced chemical equation. For kinetics it is convient to write this as products minus
reactants: npP + nqQ - naA - nbB (instead of the conventional equation n aA + nbB ---> npP + nqQ). This indicates that
na and nb moles of reactants A and B, resp., produce n p and nq moles of products P and Q.
The rate of a chemical reaction is defined in such a way that it is independent of which reactant or product is
monitored. We define the rate, v, of a reaction to be v = (1/n g) d[G]/dt where ng is the signed (positive for products,
negative for reactants) stoichiometric coefficient of species G in the reaction. Namely, v = (-1/n a) d[A]/dt = (1/np)
d[P]/dt, etc.
It is convenient to refer to the extent of reaction. As the reactants are sonsumed and the products are produced,
their concentrations change. If the initial concentrations of A, B, P and Q are [A], [B], [P] and [Q], resp., then the
extent of reaction is defined: = -([A]-[A]0)/na = -([B] - [B]0)/nb = ([P]-[P]0)/np = ([Q]-[Q]0)/nq. Alternately, each species
concentration is a function of the extent of reaction: [A] = [A] 0 - na, etc.
Many reactions follow elementary differential rate laws such as v = k f([A], [B], ...) where f([A], [B], ...) is a
function of the concentrations of reactants and products. That is, the rate varies as the concentrations change. A
proportionality constant, k, is called the rate constant of the reaction.
When the rate law has the special form of a product (or quotient) of powers, f([A], [B], ...) =
[A]a [B]b [P]p [Q]q then a is the order of the reaction with respect to A, b is the order w.r.t. B, etc. Note that order may
be positive, negative, integer, or non-integer. Further, the sum a + b + p + q is the overall order of the reaction rate
law.
NOTE: there is no necessary relation between orders and stoichiometric coefficients. That is, a might differ from
na.
Reaction rate constants are usually temperature dependent; the rate of a reaction usually increases as the
temperature rises. The temperature dependence often follows Arrhenius' equation: k(T) = A exp(-Ea/RT) where T is
the absolute temperature, R the universal gas constant, Ea is the activation energy (specific to each reaction), and A
is the "pre-exponential" or "frequency" or "entropy" factor.
One objective of chemical kinetics is to solve the differential rate law d[G]/dt = k f([A], [B], ...), and thereby
express each species concentration as a function of time: [G](t). Since solution requires integration, we call it the
integrated rate law.
A reaction mechanism is a set of steps at the molecular level. Each step involves combinations or re-
arrangements of individual molecular species. The steps in combination describe the path or route that reactant
molecules follow to reach the product molecules. The result of all steps is to produce the overall balanced
stoichiometric chemical equation for reactants producing products.
Plotting ln[A]ln[A] with respect to time for a first-order reaction gives a straight line with the slope of the
