Integrated vs. Differential Rate Laws Differential Rate Law: A rate law that expresses how the rate depends on the concentration of the reactants. (Often simply called “a rate law.”) Integrated Rate Law: A rate law that expresses how the concentrations depend on time.
First Order Rate Laws Consider the reaction: aA products The rate is -∆[A]/ ∆t = k[A]n Since it is often useful to consider the change in concentration in terms of time, the following law is derived from the previous equation by some sort of miracle. ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]0 ln = natural log, k = rate constant, t = time, [A] is at time t, [A]0 is at time 0 (the start of the experiment).
ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]0 This equation shows how the concentration of A depends on time. If the initial concentration and k are known, the concentration of A at any time can be calculated.
ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]0 Note that the form of this equation is y = mx + b. y = ln[A] x = t m = -k b = ln[A]0 Therefore, plotting the natural log of concentration vs. time will always produce a straight line for a first order reaction. If the plot is a straight line, the reaction is first order; if the plot is not a straight line, the reaction is not first order.
ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]0 The integrated rate law can also be expressed in terms of a ratio of [A] and [A]0. ln([A]0/A]) = kt
First Order Rate Laws Consider 2N2O5(g) 4 NO2(g) + O2(g) Using this data, verify that the rate law is first order and calculate k.

First Order Rate Laws Since the reaction is first order, then the slope of the line is equal to -k = ∆y/ ∆x = ∆(ln[N2O5])/ ∆t Since the first and last points are exactly on the line, we will use them to calculate slope. k = -(slope) = 6.93 x 10-3 s-1
First Order Rate Law Using the previously obtained data, calculate [N2O5] at 150 seconds after the start of the reaction.
Half Life of a First Order Reaction Half Life: the time required for a reactant to reach half its original concentration. ln([A]0/A]) = kt By definition at t =½: [A] = [A]0/2 ln(2) = kt½ t½ = 0.693/k
Half Life for First Order Reaction A certain first order reaction has a half-life of 20.0 minutes. Calculate the rate constant for this reaction. How much time is required for this reaction to be 75% complete? ln([A]0/A]) = kt
The decomposition of A is first order, and [A] is monitored. The following data are recorded: Calculatethe rate constant. Calculate the half life. Calculate [A] when t = 5 min.How long will it take for 90% of A to decompose?
