Rate third order

It is clear from figure A3.4.3 that the second-order law is well followed. Flowever, in particular for recombination reactions at low pressures, a transition to a third-order rate law (second order in the recombining species and first order in some collision partner) must be considered. If the non-reactive collision partner M is present in excess and its concentration [M] is time-independent, the rate law still is pseudo-second order with an effective second-order rate coefficient proportional to [Mj. 

Empirically, one indeed finds a third-order rate law... 

However, the postulated trimolecular mechanism is highly questionable. The third-order rate law would also be consistent with mechanisms arising from consecutive bimolecular elementary reactions, such as... 

First-order nitrations. The kinetics of nitrations in solutions of acetyl nitrate in acetic anhydride were first investigated by Wibaut. He obtained evidence for a second-order rate law, but this was subsequently disproved. A more detailed study was made using benzene, toluene, chloro- and bromo-benzene. The rate of nitration of benzene was found to be of the first order in the concentration of aromatic and third order in the concentration of acetyl nitrate the latter conclusion disagrees with later work (see below). Nitration in solutions containing similar concentrations of acetyl nitrate in acetic acid was too slow to measure, but was accelerated slightly by the addition of more acetic anhydride. Similar solutions in carbon tetrachloride nitrated benzene too quickly, and the concentration of acetyl nitrate had to be reduced from 0-7 to o-i mol 1 to permit the observation of a rate similar to that which the more concentrated solution yields in acetic anhydride. 

The kinetics of the nitration of benzene, toluene and mesitylene in mixtures prepared from nitric acid and acetic anhydride have been studied by Hartshorn and Thompson. Under zeroth order conditions, the dependence of the rate of nitration of mesitylene on the stoichiometric concentrations of nitric acid, acetic acid and lithium nitrate were found to be as described in section 5.3.5. When the conditions were such that the rate depended upon the first power of the concentration of the aromatic substrate, the first order rate constant was found to vary with the stoichiometric concentration of nitric acid as shown on the graph below. An approximately third order dependence on this quantity was found with mesitylene and toluene, but with benzene, increasing the stoichiometric concentration of nitric acid caused a change to an approximately second order dependence. Relative reactivities, however, were found to be insensitive...

The rate of a process is expressed by the derivative of a concentration (square brackets) with respect to time, d[ ]/dt. If the concentration of a reaction product is used, this quantity is positive if a reactant is used, it is negative and a minus sign must be included. Also, each derivative d[ ]/dt should be divided by the coefficient of that component in the chemical equation which describes the reaction so that a single rate is described, whichever component in the reaction is used to monitor it. A rate law describes the rate of a reaction as the product of a constant k, called the rate constant, and various concentrations, each raised to specific powers. The power of an individual concentration term in a rate law is called the order with respect to that component, and the sum of the exponents of all concentration terms gives the overall order of the reaction. Thus in the rate law Rate = k[X] [Y], the reaction is first order in X, second order in Y, and third order overall. 

Full-Form Shaping. The third appHcation of ECM, hill-form shaping, uti1i2es a constant gap across the entire workpiece, and a constant feed rate in order to produce the type of shape used for the production of compressor and turbine blades. In this procedure, current densities as high as 100 A/cm ate used, and the current density remains high across the entire face of the workpiece. 

The form of this third-order kinetic expression is identical to that in the case where the second step was rate-determining. 

Experimental studies of this base-catalyzed condensation have revealed that it is third-order, indicating that either the second or the fourth step must be rate-determining. Studies on the intermediate I obtained by an alternative synthesis have shown that is about four times as large as k - so that about 80% of the intermediate goes on to product. These reactions are faster than the overall reaction under the same conditions, so the second step must be rate-controlling. ... 

Among the cases in which this type of kinetics have been observed are the addition of hydrogen chloride to 2-methyl-1-butene, 2-methyl-2-butene, 1-mefliylcyclopentene, and cyclohexene. The addition of hydrogen bromide to cyclopentene also follows a third-order rate expression. The transition state associated with the third-order rate expression involves proton transfer to the alkene from one hydrogen halide molecule and capture of the halide ion from the second ... 

The first possibility envisages essentially the same mechanism as for the second-order process, but with Bt2 replacing solvent in the rate-determining conversion to an ion pair. The second mechanism pictures Bt2 attack on a reversibly formed ion-pair intermediate. The third mechanism postulates collide of a ternary complex tiiat is structurally similar to the initial charge-transfer complex but has 2 1 bromine alkene stoichiometry. There are very striking similarities between the second-order and third-order processes in terms of magnitude of p values and product distribution. In feet, there is a quantitative correlation between the rates of the two processes over a broad series of alkenes, which can be expressed as...

With this kernel, the disruption rate is proportional to the particle volume. This theoretical assumption of the disruption rate dependence on particle volume was validated by Synowiec etal. (1993), by demonstrating that a third-order dependence on the particle size (and therefore a proportionality on particle...

The isolation technique showed that the reaction is first-order with respect to cin-namoylimidazole, but treatment of the pseudo-first-order rate constants revealed that the reaction is not first-order in amine, because the ratio k Jc is not constant, as shown in Table 2-2. The last column in Table 2-2 indicates that a reasonable constant is obtained by dividing by the square of the amine concentration hence the reaction is second-order in amine. For the system described in Table 2-2, we therefore find that the reaction is overall third-order, with the rate equation...

(13)] and three [eqn. (14)] dimensions, the Ginstling— Brounshtein equation [eqn. (11)] and first-, second- and third-order reactions [eqns. (15)—(17)]. Diffusion control is shown as a full line, interface advance as a broken line and reaction orders are dotted. Rate processes become more strongly deceleratory as the number of dimensions in which interface advance occurs is increased. The numbers on the curves indicate the equation numbers.

There have been comparatively few kinetic studies of the decompositions of solid malonates [1103]. The sodium and potassium salts apparently melt and non-isothermal measurements indicate second-order rate processes with high values of E (962 125 and 385 84 kJ mole-1, respectively). The reaction of barium malonate apparently did not involve melting and, from the third-order behaviour, E = 481 125 kJ mole-1. 

The vast majority of the kinetic detail is presented in tabular form. Amassing of data in this way has revealed a number of errors, to which attention is drawn, and also demonstrated the need for the expression of the rate data in common units. Accordingly, all units of rate coefficients in this section have been converted to mole.l-1.sec-1 for zeroth-order coefficients (k0), sec-1 for first-order coefficients (kt), l.mole-1.sec-1 for second-order coefficients (k2), l2.mole-2.sec-1 for third-order coefficients (fc3), etc., and consequently no further reference to units is made. Likewise, energies and enthalpies of activation are all in kcal. mole-1, and entropies of activation are in cal.deg-1mole-1. Where these latter parameters have been obtained over a temperature range which precludes the accuracy favoured by the authors, attention has been drawn to this and also to a few papers, mainly early ones, in which the units of the rate coefficients (and even the reaction orders) cannot be ascertained. In cases where a number of measurements have been made under the same conditions by the same workers, the average values of the observed rate coefficients are quoted. In many reactions much of the kinetic data has been obtained under competitive conditions such that rate coefficients are not available in these cases the relative reactivities (usually relative to benzene) are quoted. 

A kinetic study of nitration by nitric acid in carbon tetrachloride has been briefly reported and is of interest because of the third-order dependence of rate upon nitric acid concentration, for nitration of N-methyl-N-nitrosoaniline. This is believed to arise from equilibria (28) and (29) below, which give rise to a nitrosating species and nitration is achieved through subsequent oxidation of the nitrosated aromatic69.
