    WS 16.1 Rate of A Reaction

    The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the change in concentration of a reactant or product over time and has units of concentration/time. The instantaneous rate is the rate at a specific point in time, while the average rate is calculated over an interval of time. The four main factors that affect reaction rates are concentration, temperature, surface area, and presence of a catalyst. A rate law expression describes the relationship between reaction rate and concentrations of reactants by determining the order of each reactant from experimental data. Finely ground sugar burns more quickly than large sugar crystals because it has a greater surface area, allowing for more contact with oxygen.

    Answer questions in detail and using complete sentences.
    1) What is meant by the rate of a chemical reaction? What are the units of the rate of a reaction?

    2) Distinguish average rate and instantaneous rate.

    3) Briefly summarize the effects of each of the four factors that affect rates of reactions.

    4) What is a rate-law expression? Describe how it is determined for a particular reaction.

    5) Why do large crystals of sugar burn more slowly than finely ground sugar?

    6) Pg. 651 #7
    7) Write the reaction rate expressions for the following reactions in terms of the disappearance of the reactants
    and the appearance of products:
    a) H2 (g) + I2 (g)  2HI
    b) 4 NH3 (g) + 5 O2 (g)  4 NO (g) + 6 H2O (g)
    c) 2H2 (g) + O2 (g)  2NO (g) + 6H2O (g)

    8) Consider the reaction 2NO (g) + O2 (g)  2NO2 (g). Suppose that at a particular moment during the reaction
    nitric oxide (NO) is reacting at a rate of 0.066 M/s. (a) at what rate is NO 2 being formed? (b) at what rate is
    molecular oxygen reacting?

    9) Consider the reaction N2 (g) + 3H2  2NH3 (g). Suppose that at a particular moment during the reaction
    molecular hydrogen is reacting at a rate of 0.074 M/s. (a) at what rate is ammonia being formed? (b) at what rate
    is molecular nitrogen reacting?
