Concentration data is commonly monitored during a reaction to determine the order with respect to a reactant. Consider the types
of observations listed, and determine which order is likely for that reactant. Assume all other factors are held constant. The reaction rate increases in direct proportion to the concentration of the reactant in solution. 1. An increase in the concentration of the reactant in solution causes the reaction rate to increase exponentially.
a. first order.
b. second order.
c. zero order.
2. The reaction rate is constant regardless of the amount of reactant in solution.
a. first order.
b. second order.
c. zero order.
3. The reaction rate increases in direct proportion to the concentration of the reactant in solution.
a. first order.
b. second order.
c. zero order.
For a first order reaction, the concentration of the reactants varies exponentially with the rate of reaction. The curve of a first order reaction shows an exponential relationship between the rate of reaction and the change in the concentration of reactants.
For a zero order reaction, the rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of the reactants. So, regardless of the amount of reactant in solution, the rate of reaction is constant.
For a second reaction, the reaction rate increases in direct proportion to the concentration of the reactant in solution.
Rewrite the formula C=5/9(F-32) substituting 23 for C: 23=5/9(F-32), then multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 5/9. (9/5)*(23)=(9/5)*5/9(F-32) 41.4=F-32; add 32 to both sides. 41.4+32=F-32+32 73.4=F
For neutral atoms, the number of valence electrons is equal to the atom's main group number. The main group number for an element can be found from its column on the periodic table. For example, carbon is in group 4 and has 4 valence electrons. Oxygen is in group 6 and has 6 valence electrons.
