Unique Reaction Rates
Such as in 15.3C and 15.5, I just wanted some clarification on what "unique" rate of a reaction means.

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
It's a unique reaction rate because it is the same for all concentrations of reactants and products when it is multiplied by their stoichiometric coefficient. The species doesn't need to be specified when writing a unique rate.

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
I will discuss this in class tomorrow.
AVERAGE RATE = (CONC(t2) − CONC(t1))/(t2 −t1) = ∆CONC/∆t
INSTANTANEOUS RATE = −(d[R])/dt
OR
INSTANTANEOUS RATE = (d[P])/dt
AVERAGE & INSTANTANEOUS RATES CAN BE DIFFERERENT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL R & P.
THINK OF THEM AS THE EXPERIMENTALLY MEASURED RATES (COLLECTED DATA) OVER LONG TIME INTERVALS (∆) OR SHORT TIME INTERVALS (d).
UNLIKE THE UNIQUE RATE WHICH IS CALCULATED AND IS THE SAME FOR ALL R & P IN THAT ‘UNIQUE’ REACTION WHERE:
UNIQUE RATE = −1/a (d[A])/dt = 1/b (d[B])/dt = 1/c (d[C])/dt
IN THE REACTION: a A ---> b B + c C
Hopefully this clarifies.
Stay warm and see you in class!

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
Does this mean that even if all the stoichiometric coefficients were different, because of the concentrations of each species then all rates would be the same? And does unique rate refer to the equality of all rates or of one species only?

Re: Unique Reaction Rates [ENDORSED]
If all of the stoichiometric coefficients were different, the unique rate can still be the same using any of them to calculate it because we are multiplying the (change in concentration/change in time) by 1/coefficient. This therefore allows us to calculate the unique rate using any of the species in the reaction. The unique rate refers to the one rate calculated using one of the species. The equality formula is just to show that it does not matter which one you choose as long as you multiple by 1/coefficient and negate the equation if it is a reactant.

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
I'm still confused as to how we know when to use the instantaneous rate and the unique rates?

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
I think instantaneous rate is the general but more accurate measure of the rate of change of concentration, and unique rate is like the instantaneous rate of individual species. (so the name 'unique')

Thank you so much! your response is very helpful

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
I'm pretty sure the unique rate is the same for every reactant, so you just wouldn't take the stoichiometric coefficients into account.

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
I will say the rate of a chemical reaction is the change in concentration over the change in time and is a metric of the "speed" at which a chemical reactions occurs.
And Unique rate is the rate occurs per unit of each molecules

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
A unique rate is the same for all of the materials in the reaction (products and reactants) because it multiplies the change in substance by one over its coefficient.

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
The reaction rate is the measure of change in concentration of the reactants or the change in concentration of the products per unit time.

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
Unique rate depends on the stoichiometric coefficient, but stays the same for all products and reactants in the reaction.

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
The unique rate has to do with the stoichiometric coefficients because it stays the same (proportionality)
Re: Unique Reaction Rates
The unique rate stays constant for all reactants and depends on coefficients of the reaction.
Re: Unique Reaction Rates
The unique rate depends on the stoichiometric coefficient & stays the same for all products and reactants
Re: Unique Reaction Rates
The unique reaction rate is defined as the rate of the increase in product concentration or the rate in decrease of product concentration divided by the stoichiometric coefficient.

unique rate is is the same for all reactants because of its coefficients

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
Combustion is also unique in that it will always have some reactants and some products that remain the same. (CO2, H2O)

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
so in problems like 7A.3, we just take the unique rate and multiply it by the stoichiometric coefficient to determine the rate of each reactant/product right? just clarifying here, since I'm not 100% confident on the concept of unique rates

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
Hi!,
A unique reaction rate is the increase or decrease in product concentration that is defined by our stoichiometric coefficient

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
A unique rate is a rate of appearance/disappearance of any of the species in a reaction divided by its stoichiometric coefficient. A unique rate will be the same for each reactant or product.

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
The unique rate is the same for all coefficients so you wouldnt balance the equation first.
Re: Unique Reaction Rates
its unique because the reaction rate is the same for each concentration of products and reactions when it gets multiplied by the stoich coefficient.

Re: Unique Reaction Rates
Have we seen an example of this in the current 14B classes? I couldn't find an example in the lectures so I'm wondering where I can look for more practice.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Re: Unique Reaction Rates
a unique reaction rate entails the rat being the same for the concentrations of both the products and the reactants when that reaction rate is multiplied by the coefficient that goes with it. there is no need to specify a species when you are writing a reaction rate.
Re: Unique Reaction Rates
You need to look at the overall system and then translate the mole content
Re: Unique Reaction Rates
What will be some indicators in word problems that would suggest that the reactions are unique?
