Integrated rate laws
At constant temperature and volume, for disappearance of a single reactant A:
- Zero order: [A] = [A]0 − kt. Linear plot: [A] versus time; slope −k.
- First order: ln[A] = ln[A]0 − kt; [A] = [A]0e−kt. Linear plot: ln[A] versus time; slope −k.
- Second order: 1/[A] = 1/[A]0 + kt. Linear plot: 1/[A] versus time; slope +k.
First-order half-life: t½ = 0.693/k.
Rate law and units of k
rate = k[A]m[B]n. Overall order = m + n.
For concentration in M and time in s: [k] = M1−(m+n) s−1.
- Zero order: M s−1
- First order: s−1
- Second order: M−1 s−1
The rate constant depends on temperature. Orders come from experiments for an overall reaction; coefficients give orders only for an elementary reaction.
Keep extra digits in your work and round only the final answer. Energy-profile levels are schematic model values.
