Large K
K> 1000 or lnK > 7
The reaction is regarded as complete and irreversible
Small K
K<0.001 or lnK < -7)
The reaction does not occur
Major factors that influence the rate
Rate =
Rate = v = -1/a d[A]/dt = 1/d d[D]/dt
In the case of direct proportionality…
v = kc
First order
Second order reaction
v = kc^2
Arrhenius equation
k = Ae^(-E/RT)
Reaction order units:
mass/ volume time
zero order
1/time
first order
vol/mass time
second order
