Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | Now notice in this reaction we have a forward reaction and a reverse reaction. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | Now, we're only going to worry about the forward reaction, but know that if there is a forward reaction, there could also be a reverse reaction. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | Now let's look at the rate law. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | The rate law is this entire equation or relation. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | So rate of the forward reaction of this reaction is given by our rate constant KF for the forward reaction times the concentration of X to the A power. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | In this case this A times the concentration of Y to the B power B. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | Now, the reason we chose A and B is because this is an elementary reaction. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | Now, if this was not an elementary reaction, we would not be able to use this A and B the way we did here. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | Now for now, we're only going to worry about elementary reactions. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | So this is our rate law. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | Now this KF, our rate constant depends strictly on temperature and types of reactants. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | It does not depend on the concentrations of reactants nor products. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | Now, we saw from another video that KF is known as the Iranians equation and it depends strictly on temperature. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | So at the same temperature we're going to use the same reactant for some given reaction. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | Now, if we change our reactants, we're also going to have to change our KF because our rate constant also depends on the types of reactants used. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | Now, one last thing I want to mention is that this rate law, this equation is determined strictly using experimental results. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | That's the only way we can determine this relation. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | We can't determine this relation using the formula above. |
Reaction Rates and Rate Law .txt | We have to determine determine this formula using experiments and my next lecture, we're going to see exactly how we determine our rate law from initial experimental results. |
