Rate Law: rate = k [A]x [B]y
x – order of the reaction with respect to reactant A
y – order of the reaction with respect to reactant B
x + y = over-all order of the reaction
*Note: the values of x and y specify the relationships
between the concentrations of the reactants A and B
and the reaction rate.
RATE LAW

SECOND-ORDER REACTION
Iodine atoms combine to form molecular iodine in the gas phase. This reaction
follows second-order kinetics and has the high rate constant 7.0x109 M-1s-1 at
23℃.
a. If the initial concentration of [I]0 was 0.086M, calculate the concentration after
2.0 minutes.
b. Calculate the half-life of the reaction if the initial concentration of [I]0 is 0.60M.

SECOND-ORDER REACTION
Iodine atoms combine to form molecular iodine in the gas phase. This reaction
follows second-order kinetics and has the high rate constant 7.0x109 M-1s-1 at
23℃.
a. If the initial concentration of [I]0 was 0.120M, calculate the concentration after
3.50 minutes.

SUMMARY
1st Order 2nd Order
•Generally, as temperature
increases, so does the reaction
rate.
•This is because k is temperature
dependent.
TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF RATE
CONSTANT
•Collision Theory
•In a chemical reaction, bonds are
broken and new bonds are formed.
•Molecules can only react if they
collide with each other.
TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF RATE
CONSTANT
•Collision Theory
•Furthermore, molecules must collide with
the correct orientation and with enough
energy to cause bond breakage and
formation.
