Hydrolysis of an ester : rate = k[A][B] rate = k`[A] CH3COOC2H5 + H2O CH3COOH + C2H5OH Rate = k'[CH COOH] Umm Al-Qura University College of Applied Science Chemistry Department Half-life of a Reaction The time required for the concentration of a reactant to decrease to half its initial value. First order: (1) half-life for a first order reaction is independent of the initial concentration. (2) it is inversely proportional ot k, the rate-constant. Umm Al-Qura University College of Applied Science Chemistry Department Half-life of a Reaction Concentration of A as a function of time for a 1st reaction. Umm Al-Qura University College of Applied Science Chemistry Department Concentration of A as a function of time for a 2ed reaction. Calculation of Time for Completing any Fraction of the Reaction Umm Al-Qura University College of Applied Science Chemistry Department Example: Umm Al-Qura University College of Applied Science Chemistry Department PROBLEM 1. Compound A decomposes to form B and C the reaction is first order. At 25°C the rate constant for the reaction is 0.450 s–1. What is the half-life of A at 25°C ? SOLUTION • We know that for a first order reaction, half-life t1/2, is given by the expression t1/2 = 0.693 /k where k = rate constant • Substituting the value of k = 0.450 s–1 • t1/2 = 0.693/ 0.450s-1 = 1.54s-1 Umm Al-Qura University College of Applied Science Chemistry Department PROBLEM 2. The half-life of a substance in a first order reaction is 15 minutes. Calculate the rate constant. SOLUTION • For a first order reaction • t1/2 = 0.693/ k • Putting t1/2 = 15 min in the expression and solving for k, • k = 0.693/t1/2 = 0.693/ 15mins = 4.62 × 10–2 min–1 Umm Al-Qura University College of Applied Science Chemistry Department Comparison between the different order reactions Umm Al-Qura University College of Applied Science Chemistry Department Examples of First order Reactions • From the following data for the decomposition of N2O5 in CCl4 solution at 48°C, show that the reaction is of the first order t (mins) 10 15 20 ∞ Vol of O2 evolved 6.30 8.95 11.40 34.75 Umm Al-Qura University College of Applied Science Chemistry Department Examples of First order Reactions Umm Al-Qura University College of Applied Science Chemistry Department Examples of second order Reactions • Hydrolysis of ethyl acetate by NaOH using equal concentration of the reactants, was studied by titrating 25ml of the reaction mixture at different time intervals against standard acid.
