1 ENV 15 Slutins t inetics Prblem Set 1. The inversin f sucrse prceeded as shwn at 5 : The initial cncentratin f sucrse was 1. mles/liter. alculate the first rder rate cnstant and the half-life f the reactin. Why des this reactin fllw a first rder law despite the fact water enters int the stichimetric equatin? Hw lng wuld it take t invert 95% f a pund f sugar? 1 H O 11 + H O 6 H 1 O H 1 O 6, min Sucrse inverted-m/l Slutin: The slutin is diluted, [H O] 55.5 M/L vs [ 1 H 1 O 11 ] 1. M/L. The reactin is limited by the cncentratin f 1 H 1 O 11 and fllws first-rder kinetics. Sucrse + H O Glucse d dt k * after integratin: i k * t r -k*t + i Thus, if we plt [ ] vs time, the resulting slpe is equal t the rate cnstant k (min -1 )., min Sucrse inverted- M/L Sucrse remaining M/L Ln [ ]

3 . Find the reactin rder and rate cnstant fr the decmpsitin f diazbenzenechlride at 5 if the initial diazbenzenechlride cncentratin is 1 grams/liter. The reactin and nitrgen evlutin are shwn.

5 Frm the graphs we can see that the reactin fllws first-rder r secnd-rder kinetics. Firstrder kinetic is chsen because the data pints shw a nrmal distributin arund the trendline. The secnd-rder plt is nt apprpriate despite the higher R (.97) because the data pints shw a curvature. Frm the trendline equatin shwn in the first-rder graph (graph b), the rate cnstant is:.55 min -1 5
