Rate Law
A dimer is a molecule composed of two identical molecules. Butadiene (C4H6) reacts to form its dimer according to 5. the equation: 2CAH (g) 8 (g) The following data were collected for this reaction at a given temperature: [C4H6] (M) Time (s) 0.01000 0.00625 1000 0.00476 1800 0.00370 2800 0.00313 3600 0.00270 4400 0.00241 5200 0.00208 6200 a) ls this reaction zero, first or second-order? (HINT: do a graphical analysis) b) What is the value of the rate constant for the reaction? c) What is the half-life for the reaction under the conditions of this experiment?Explanation / Answer
a) to determine the order of reaction we will first plot a graph between concentration and time
If it is straght line then it must be zero order reaction .
If it is a curver then we wil draw a graph between ln of concentration and time
If it is straight line then it must be first order
If it s curve then we will draw a grpah between 1/ [Concentration ] and time
If it is a straight line then it must be second order
so let us check
It is a curve
b) first order anaylsis
Almost a straight line, so this is first order reaction
b) the rate constant = - Slope
the rate equation is
kt = ln [A0/lnAt]
kt = lnA0 - lnAt
lnAt = lnA0 - kt
the equation for graph is
y = -0.0002x - 4.8066
slope = -k = 0.0002
c) half life = 0.693 / K = 0.693 / 0.0002 = 3465 sec-1
