    First order reaction

    A certain level of response

    A=B

    The reaction rate is expressed by the change in the concentration of reactant A, and the differential expression of the reaction rate equation is

    Organize, get

    The initial concentration of reactant A is [A] 0 , the concentration at time t is [A] t , and both sides of the above formula are integrated simultaneously

    Get

    In[A] t -In[A] 0 =-k t

    Convert to common logarithm

    From the integral expression of the first-order reaction rate equation, the instantaneous concentration of the reactants of the first-order reaction can be obtained
    .

    Substituting [A] t =1/2[A] 0 into the integral expression of the rate equation of the first-order reaction, the half-life of the first-order reaction is

    It can be seen that the half-life of the first-order reaction is only related to the rate constant, and has nothing to do with the initial concentration of the reactants
    .


    This is an outstanding feature of the first-order reaction


    [Example 3-3] The changes in the concentration of reactant A over time are as follows:

    Find (1) the rate constant of the reaction; (2) the instantaneous rate of the reaction at 3 min
    .

    Solution From the data in the table, it can be seen that the time required for the concentration of the reactant to decrease from 1mol·dm -3 to 0.


    50mol·dm -3 is 2 minutes, which is reduced from 0.
    5mol·dm -3 to 0.
    25mol·dm -3 .
    The time required is also 2min


    (1) For the first order reaction

    Get

    k=0.


    347(min -1 )

    (2) The rate equation of the reaction is

    r=k[A]

    When the reaction reaches 3min, the instantaneous rate of the reaction

    r 3min =k[A] 3min =0.


    347×0.
    36=0.
