The integrated rate law
If we know how the rate depends on all concentrations,we can predict how it will change over time.
This is called the "integrated rate law"At each point we know concentrations, hence the rate,hence we can predict concentrations at the next moment:
rate = [Z]/t[Z] = rate*tnew [Z] = old [Z] + [Z] = old [Z] + rate*t
The integrated rate law
A rigorous derivation of integrated rate laws requires calculus, but we can understand and use the results without using calculus.
We will discuss only three cases:• First-order (most important by far!)• Second-order• Zero-order
The integrated rate lawfor a first-order reaction
For a first-order rate lawrate = k [A]
the integrated rate law is[A]t = [A]0 e-k t ("exponential decay")
or equivalentlyln [A]t = ln [A]0 - k t
So, plotting ln [A]t vs t should give a straight line with slope -k and intercept ln [A]0.

First-order integrated rate laws
First-order rate laws are very common, not only in chemistry.
They express a situation where the chance of something happening to each of a set of objects is constant in time and the same for each object, independent of what happens to the other objects.
Exponential decay rate law
Reasonable examples:• People not winning the lottery, if they play consistently for
the same amount of money and the lottery company doesn't "change the rules".
• People never losing at blackjack, provided they and the dealer keep the same strategy (and there are infinitely many cards).
• Decay of radioactive nuclei.• Houses not being hit by a meteorite (assuming all houses
have the same roof area etc).
Exponential decay rate law
Keep in mind:• Molecules are perfect at playing the game of chance.• They never react "all at the same time".• Each molecule has at any time a certain probability to
undergo the reaction.• If the probability is high, most molecules will react
quickly.

Exponential decay and half-life
Perfect fit! So every part of the curve has the same "shape", and every time we wait a time of t½ the concentration halves.
For other decays, the half-life is not constant.

Using exponential decay(ex 43, p 661)
SO2Cl2 decomposes into SO2 and Cl2 in a first-order reaction:
SO2Cl2 SO2 + Cl2
The half-life at 600K is 1.47*104 s (4.08 hr).• If you begin with 1.6*10-3 mol in a 2-L flask, how
long will it take till only 1.2*10-3 mol is left?• And if we do the same experiment in a 1-L flask?• How much is left after 5 hr?
Decomposition of SO2Cl2
The rate constant isk = 0.693/t½ = 0.0000472 s-1
and we have
Reducing the amount from 1.6*10-3 mol to1.2*10-3 mol reduces the concentration from 0.8*10-3 mol/L to 0.6*10-3 mol/L,so we want [A]t/[A]0 = 0.6/0.8 = 0.75.

If we do the reaction in a smaller flask, begin and end concentrations will increase (*2), but their ratio stays the same same answer.

For a second-order rate lawrate = k [A]2
the integrated rate law is
So, plotting 1/[A]t vs t should give a straight line with slope k and intercept 1/[A]0.

The integrated rate lawfor a zero-order reaction
For a zero-order rate lawrate = k (constant!)
the integrated rate law is[A]t = [A]0 - k t
(only valid as long as k t <= [A]0).
Plot [A]t vs t: slope -k, intercept [A]0.
Zero-order reactions are rare!
