Review Collision Theory and Rate Laws

independent variable is 1/[A]

change in [A] over change in t

k=1/s

data does not include rate

horizontal line on a rate vs time graph

data includes rate and concentration

plot is ln[A] vs t

plot is [A] vs t

negative because of decreasing [A]

plot is 1/[A] vs t

concentration changes the same as rate

[A] does not affect rate

rate=k[B]²

k=M^-1s^-1

only integrated line with a +k

rate=k

[A]_t = -kt + [A]₀

ln[A]_t = -kt ln[A]₀

1/[A]_t = kt + 1/[A]_t

rate=k[A]

Plot ln [X] versus time and determine the magnitude of the slope.

Plot 1/[X] versus time and determine the magnitude of

the slope.

Run another trial of the experiment with a different initial concentration, plot the data on the same graph, and see where the curves intersect.
