Question
Circle the species that may not appear in the rate equation for a reaction Reactant Product Catalyst Intermediate Mathematically, state the kinetic definition of equilibrium. Explain why it is virtually certain that the homogeneous gas-phase reaction 2NH_3 rightarrow N_2 + 3H_2 does not occur by a one-step mechanism. If the reaction for the Haber process, N_2 + 3H_2 rightarrow 2NH_3, has d[H_2]/dt = -0.012 mol/L s at a certain instant, then what is d[NH_3]/dt at that time? Derive the integral rate law for a first-order reaction where A rightarrow Z (solve for [A].)
Explanation / Answer
[1] products, catalysts and intermediate
The rate of a reaction is always proportional to reactants raised to some powers. So, products, catalysts and intermediate will not appear in the equation.
e.g. aA + bB -> cC
rate = k [A]a[B]b
