the Order of a Reaction The order of a reaction can be determined only by experiment A common way to determine reaction order is by the method of initial rates When the A doubles the rate doubles This means the initial rate is directly proportional to the initial concentration therefore it is first order Example A cid 224 products A M 1 2 4 Initial Rate M s 015 030 060 Second Order A M Initial Rate

Increasing concentration of products Q K favors reactants Decreasing concentration of reactants Q K favors reactants Decreasing concentration of products Q K favors products Changes in concentrations DO NOT matter in solids and liquids Changing Pressure Increase in pressure decrease in volume shifts to side with fewer moles of gas Decrease in pressure increase in volume shifts to side with more moles of gas When equal moles are present on each side no shift takes place Also when adding inert gas at a fixed volume no shift takes place Effect of Temperature Change on Equilibrium Exothermic A B

HCl aq cid 224 H aq Cl aq HCl is an acid under Arrhenius because it produces H ion in solution NaOH aq cid 224 Na aq OH aq NaOH is a base under Arrhenius because it produces OH ion in solution Br
