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.
