Key Concepts

Rate Constant Calculation

The rate constant (k) quantifies the speed of a reaction and is determined by fitting experimental rate data to the rate law. Its units depend on the overall order of the reaction; for example, in a first-order reaction, k has units of s?¹.

SN1 Mechanism

The SN1 mechanism is characterized by a unimolecular rate-determining step where the substrate undergoes a slow ionization to form a reactive intermediate, such as a carbocation, which is then rapidly attacked by the nucleophile. In these reactions, the rate law typically depends only on the concentration of the substrate.

Rate Law

The rate law is an equation that expresses the rate of a chemical reaction as a function of the concentration(s) of its reactant(s). It shows which species affect the reaction rate and through which power (or order) they do so, providing insight into the reaction's mechanism.

Reaction Order

Reaction order refers to the exponents to which the reactant concentrations are raised in the rate law. It indicates the dependency of the reaction rate on the concentration of that reactant. For example, a first?order reaction depends linearly on the concentration of one reactant.
