Chapter 6, Problem 6.8DQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Graph has to be sketched using the given conditions.  Way in which the graph differs from that shown for a reaction with that is first-order in both directions should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Rate of a reaction: It represents the speed at which a chemical reaction runs.  How much concentration of substrates (reactants) consumed and how much concentration of targets (products) formed in a unit of time is said to be rate of reaction.

Rate of reaction depends on time, temperature, pressure, concentration, and pH of the reaction.

Rate of the reaction is the change in the concentration of reactant or a product with time.  It can be varied in accordance with temperature, pressure, concentration, presence of catalyst, surface area.

Equilibrium constant(Kc): A system is said to be in equilibrium when all the measurable properties of the system remains unchanged with the time.  Equilibrium constant is the ratio of the rate constants of the forward and reverse reactions at a given temperature.  In other words it is the ratio of the concentrations of the products to concentrations of the reactants.  Each concentration term is raised to a power, which is same as the coefficients in the chemical reaction.

Consider the reaction where the reactant A is giving product B.

    AB

Rate of forward reaction = Rate of reverse reactionkf[A]=kr[B]

On rearranging, [A][B]=kfkr=Kc

Where,

kf is the rate constant of the forward reaction.

kr is the rate constant of the reverse reaction.

Kc is the equilibrium constant.
