2.8.3 · D3 · Chemistry › Chemical Kinetics › Differential rate equations for 0, 1st, 2nd order — derivati
Yeh page parent derivations ka stress-test hai. Hum sirf "formula mein plug karo" wali baat repeat nahi karte. Hum har tarah ke sawal enumerate karte hain jo ek rate law throw kar sakta hai — har order, har direction (forward: concentration dhundho; backward: time ya k dhundho), awkward zero/degenerate inputs, "runs to completion" limit, ek real-world word problem, aur ek exam twist jo order ko chhupaata hai.
Agar tumne abhi tak teen integrated laws nahi padhe, pehle parent note padho. Yahan sab kuch sirf in teen lines par depend karta hai, toh chaliye inhe wahan pin kar dete hain jahan nazar seedhi padti ho.
Definition Square brackets aur "M" ka matlab kya hai
[ A ] ko "concentration of A " padha jaata hai — matlab ek litre solution mein packed substance A ke moles ki tadaad. Iska unit hai mol L − 1 , jise chemists M se abbreviate karte hain (short for molar ). Toh "0.10 M " ka matlab hai "0.10 mol L− 1 ," yaani har litre mein 0.10 moles of A dissolved. Jab bhi is page par M dikhe, man hi man mol L − 1 padho.
t 1/2 — woh symbol jo is poore page par use hoga
Half-life t 1/2 woh time hai jisme concentration exactly aadhi ho jaati hai: [ A ] → 2 1 [ A ] . Subscript "1/2 " sirf "half bachi" ka shorthand hai. Har order ka apna formula hota hai (parent mein derive kiya gaya hai):
0th: t 1/2 = 2 k [ A ] 0 1st: t 1/2 = k l n 2 = k 0.693 2nd: t 1/2 = k [ A ] 0 1
Shuru karne se pehle teeno ki pictures ek saath dekho — woh alag dikhti hain , aur wahi shape tumhe batati hai ki kaun sa law kaam kar raha hai.
Intuition Upar wali figure mein kya notice karna hai
Har curve ko usi starting height se trace karo. White line (0th) perfectly constant tilt par girta hai — har second same drop, aur eventually axis se crash karta hai. Cyan curve (1st) start mein sabse steep hai aur phir hamesha gentle hota jaata hai, lekin zero ko kabhi touch nahi karta — sirf approach karta hai. Amber curve (2nd) sabse pehle sabse fast start karta hai, phir cyan wale se bhi zyada lazy tail mein flatten ho jaata hai. Is poore page ka game bas yeh hai: shape padho, order batao. Constant slope ⇒ 0th; ek fixed fraction se hamesha shrink hona ⇒ 1st; ek stubborn long tail jo khatam hone ka naam nahi leta ⇒ 2nd.
Intuition Time ke units ke baare mein ek baat
Cells A–F, H aur I mein hum seconds (s) mein kaam karte hain, kyunki rate constants waise hi diye gaye hain. Drug problem (Cell G) mein data hours (h) mein aata hai, toh hum k ko h − 1 mein rakhte hain aur har time ko hours mein — s aur h ko ek hi equation mein mix karna waise hi hai jaise metres ko miles mein add karo. Rule yeh hai: k aur t ka time unit same hona chahiye taaki k t ek pure number bane.
Har kinetics problem is grid ke exactly ek cell mein fit hoti hai. Last column us worked example ka naam batata hai jo use cover karta hai.

Hum inhe order mein chalte hain. Har example pehle tumse Forecast maangta hai (rough guess lagao — yeh intuition train karta hai), phir solve karta hai, phir Verify karta hai.
Worked example Ex 1 — Ammonia on hot platinum
2 NH 3 → N 2 + 3 H 2 ek saturated Pt surface par zero-order hai.
[ NH 3 ] 0 = 0.10 M , k = 2.5 × 1 0 − 4 M s − 1 . t = 300 s ke baad [ NH 3 ] dhundho.
Forecast: Zero order mein concentration straight line mein girta hai. 300 s mein hum k ⋅ t = 2.5 × 1 0 − 4 × 300 = 0.075 M remove karte hain. 0.10 se shuru karke, hum 0.025 M ke paas pahunchenge. Aage padhne se pehle guess karo.
Step 1. Law chunno. Zero order → [ A ] t = [ A ] 0 − k t .
Yeh step kyun? Kyunki rate concentration par depend nahi karta; remove ki gayi amount sirf (rate)×(time) hai, yaani constant slope.
Step 2. Substitute karo.
[ NH 3 ] t = 0.10 − ( 2.5 × 1 0 − 4 ) ( 300 ) = 0.10 − 0.075 = 0.025 M
Yeh step kyun? Direct plug-in; subtraction hi physics hai — toll booth ne har second fixed number of molecules pass kiye.
Verify: 0.025 M positive hai aur 0.10 se neeche — sensible. Units: M − ( M s − 1 ) ( s ) = M − M = M . ✓
Yeh woh trap hai jo almost sab miss kar dete hain. Zero order mein line same slope par girti rehti hai. Ek line ko nahi pata ki zero par ruk jaaye. Toh blindly ek bada t plug karne par negative concentration aati hai, jo physically impossible hai.
t end — "run-out time"
Hum us khaas instant ko ek naam dete hain jab ek zero-order reactant completely use ho jaata hai: t end (padho "t-end"). Yeh woh time hai jab [ A ] t pehli baar 0 par pahunchta hai. Sirf zero order ka aisa finite, well-defined run-out time hota hai; hum is value ko example mein derive karenge.
Intuition Upar wali figure mein kya notice karna hai
Dashed grey line bare formula 0.10 − k t hai; ise follow karo aur dekho yeh horizontal axis se seedha negative territory mein chali jaati hai — woh jagah jahan concentration kabhi nahi ja sakta. Solid cyan line honest concentration hai: yeh grey line ko exactly tab tak follow karta hai jab tak axis se meet nahi karta, phir [ A ] = 0 ke saath flat ho jaata hai. Amber dot woh jagah mark karta hai jahan dono alag hote hain — woh instant t end hai. Sabak yeh hai: formula ek tool hai jiska valid domain hota hai , aur amber dot us domain ka edge hai.
Worked example Ex 2 — Formula kab toot jaata hai?
Same reaction: [ NH 3 ] 0 = 0.10 M , k = 2.5 × 1 0 − 4 M s − 1 .
(a) Formula t = 500 s par kya "predict" karta hai? (b) Ammonia actually kab khatam hoti hai (yaani t end dhundho)?
Forecast: 500 s mein hum 2.5 × 1 0 − 4 × 500 = 0.125 M remove karte hain, jo shuru se zyada hai. Toh honest answer hai "500 s se pehle khatam." Reactant 500 s se pehle kahi zero hit karega.
Step 1. Naively substitute karo.
[ NH 3 ] 500 = 0.10 − 0.125 = − 0.025 M ( impossible! )
Yeh step kyun? Failure dekhne ke liye. Negative concentration matlab model apne valid region se bahar nikal gaya — reaction pehle hi khatam ho gayi.
Step 2. Run-out time t end dhundho, [ A ] t = 0 set karke.
0 = [ A ] 0 − k t end ⇒ t end = k [ A ] 0 = 2.5 × 1 0 − 4 0.10 = 400 s
Yeh step kyun? Definition se t end woh jagah hai jahan [ A ] = 0 ; formula ko zero ke barabar set karke aur t ke liye solve karke woh instant milta hai. Line x -axis tab hit karti hai jab exactly sab A consume ho jaata hai. Uske baad [ A ] = 0 aur rate 0 hai (koi ammonia nahi bachi decompose hone ke liye).
Step 3. Real answer piecewise batao.
[ NH 3 ] t = { 0.10 − k t 0 t ≤ t end = 400 s t > 400 s
Yeh step kyun? Single formula 0.10 − k t sirf tab valid hai jab tak ammonia bachi ho . t end ke baad yeh impossible negatives dega, toh hume ek flat "= 0 " branch grafting karni padti hai — t end par cutoff exactly woh jagah hai jahan physics "decomposing" se "decompose karne ko kuch nahi bachi" mein shift ho jaati hai.
Verify: t = 400 s par, 0.10 − 2.5 × 1 0 − 4 × 400 = 0.10 − 0.10 = 0 . ✓ Run-out time 400 s exactly 2 × t 1/2 hai (kyunki t 1/2 = [ A ] 0 /2 k = 200 s), jo sense banaata hai: zero order har half-life mein same amount khoata hai, toh do half-lives mein completely khatam ho jaata hai. ✓
Common mistake The zero-order cliff
First aur second order zero ko asymptotically approach karte hain — woh kabhi truly zero nahi pahunchte. Sirf zero order actually finite time t end par zero hit karta hai. Number trust karne se pehle hamesha check karo ki k t > [ A ] 0 toh nahi hai.
Worked example Ex 3 — Target tak pahunchne mein kitna time?
Ek first-order isomerisation ka k = 3.0 × 1 0 − 3 s − 1 hai. [ A ] 0 = 0.80 M se shuru karke, [ A ] t = 0.20 M tak pahunchne mein kitna time lagega?
Forecast: Hum start ke one-quarter tak gir rahe hain. One-quarter = do halvings, toh roughly do half-lives . Half-life = 0.693/ k ≈ 231 s, toh expect roughly 460 – 470 s.
Step 1. Log form chunno aur t isolate karo.
ln [ A ] 0 [ A ] t = − k t ⇒ t = − k 1 ln [ A ] 0 [ A ] t
Yeh step kyun? Time exponential ke andar trapped hai; natural log woh tool hai jo e − k t ko undo karke t ko free karta hai. Hum ln use karte hain (na ki log 10 ) kyunki law base e par built hai.
Step 2. Substitute karo.
t = − 3.0 × 1 0 − 3 1 ln 0.80 0.20 = − 3.0 × 1 0 − 3 1 ln ( 0.25 )
Kyunki ln ( 0.25 ) = − 1.386 ,
t = − 3.0 × 1 0 − 3 − 1.386 = 462 s
Yeh step kyun? ln ( 0.25 ) negative hai (hum shrink hue), aur − k se divide karna ise positive banaata hai — time positive hona chahiye.
Verify: Back plug karo: [ A ] t = 0.80 e − 3.0 × 1 0 − 3 × 462 = 0.80 e − 1.386 = 0.80 × 0.25 = 0.20 M . ✓ Aur 462 ≈ 2 × 231 s = do half-lives, forecast se match karta hai. ✓
Worked example Ex 4 — Bachi hui fraction
14 C ke liye, t 1/2 = 5730 yr. (a) Exactly 4 half-lives ke baad kaunsi fraction bachi hai? (b) t → ∞ par kaunsi fraction bachi hai?
Forecast: Har half-life 2 1 se multiply karti hai. Char half-lives: 2 1 × 2 1 × 2 1 × 2 1 = 16 1 , toh lagbhag 6%. t → ∞ par exponential e − k t → 0 — kabhi zero nahi pahunchta lekin arbitrarily close ho jaata hai.
Step 1. k = ln 2/ t 1/2 use karo.
k = 5730 0.693 = 1.21 × 1 0 − 4 yr − 1
Yeh step kyun? First order ke liye half-life formula t 1/2 = ln 2/ k hai; rearrange karne par k milta hai taaki hum kisi bhi time tak pahunch sakein.
Step 2. Char half-lives matlab t = 4 × 5730 = 22920 yr. Fraction:
[ A ] 0 [ A ] t = e − k t = e − 1.21 × 1 0 − 4 × 22920 = e − 2.773 = 0.0625 = 16 1
Yeh step kyun? Hum ( 1/2 ) 4 bhi kar sakte the; exponential agree karna chahiye, aur karta hai — confirm karta hai ki "4 half-lives" aur "e − 4 l n 2 " same statement hain.
Step 3. Limit. Jab t → ∞ , − k t → − ∞ , toh e − k t → 0 .
Yeh step kyun? Yeh first order ki defining feature hai — asymptotic approach, kabhi hard stop nahi (Cell B se contrast karo).
Verify: ( 1/2 ) 4 = 0.0625 exactly, aur e − 2.773 = 0.0625 . ✓ k ke units: yr − 1 , toh k t dimensionless hai — correct, kyunki tum sirf pure number ko exponentiate kar sakte ho. ✓
2 dimerisation
2 NO 2 → N 2 O 4 NO2 mein second order hai. [ NO 2 ] 0 = 0.0100 M , k = 0.543 M − 1 s − 1 , t = 300 s . [ NO 2 ] t dhundho.
Forecast: Second order pehle fast decay karta hai, phir crawl karta hai . Kyunki 1/ [ A ] 0 = 100 aur k t = 163 hai, k t term dominate karti hai, toh concentration half se kaafi neeche girni chahiye — guess karo kuch × 1 0 − 3 M .
Step 1. Reciprocal law.
[ NO 2 ] t 1 = [ NO 2 ] 0 1 + k t
Yeh step kyun? Second order 1/ [ A ] mein linear hai, [ A ] mein nahi — toh hum reciprocal space mein kaam karte hain jahan arithmetic simple addition hai.
Step 2. Substitute karo.
[ NO 2 ] t 1 = 0.0100 1 + ( 0.543 ) ( 300 ) = 100 + 162.9 = 262.9 M − 1
Yeh step kyun? 1/0.0100 = 100 starting reciprocal hai, aur ( 0.543 ) ( 300 ) = 162.9 hai kitna reciprocal badha; hum add karte hain kyunki law kehta hai 1/ [ A ] time ke saath linearly grow karta hai.
Step 3. Flip back karo.
[ NO 2 ] t = 262.9 1 = 3.80 × 1 0 − 3 M
Yeh step kyun? Law reciprocal space mein rehta hai; final flip humein real concentration par wapas laata hai.
Verify: 1/ ( 3.80 × 1 0 − 3 ) = 263 ≈ 262.9 . ✓ Units: M − 1 + ( M − 1 s − 1 ) ( s ) = M − 1 . ✓ Final ≈ 38% of start — "collisions needed, toh same k par first order se slower" ke saath consistent.
Worked example Ex 6 — Do data points se
k extract karo
Ek dimerisation (second order) [ A ] 0 = 0.050 M se shuru hoti hai aur t = 250 s ke baad [ A ] t = 0.020 M measure hoti hai. k dhundho.
Forecast: Reciprocal space mein hum 1/0.050 = 20 se 1/0.020 = 50 tak gaye, yaani 250 s mein 30 M − 1 ka jump. Toh k ≈ 30/250 = 0.12 M − 1 s − 1 .
Step 1. Law ko k ke liye rearrange karo.
k = t 1 ( [ A ] t 1 − [ A ] 0 1 )
Yeh step kyun? k 1/ [ A ] -vs-t line ka slope hai; slope = (rise in 1/ [ A ] ) ÷ (run in t ).
Step 2. Substitute karo.
k = 250 1 ( 0.020 1 − 0.050 1 ) = 250 1 ( 50 − 20 ) = 250 30 = 0.12 M − 1 s − 1
Yeh step kyun? 1/0.020 = 50 aur 1/0.050 = 20 final aur initial reciprocals hain; unka difference 30 M − 1 total "rise" hai, aur elapsed 250 s se divide karne par slope milta hai, jo hi k hai.
Verify: Is k se forward-check karo: 1/ [ A ] t = 20 + 0.12 × 250 = 20 + 30 = 50 , toh [ A ] t = 0.020 M . ✓ k ke units: ( M − 1 ) / ( s ) = M − 1 s − 1 — correct second-order units. ✓
Worked example Ex 7 — Body mein drug clearance
Ek drug first-order kinetics se eliminate hoti hai. Ek patient ko 500 mg diya jaata hai; 6.0 hours ke baad sirf 125 mg bachi hai. (a) Elimination rate constant k aur uske units dhundho. (b) Drug ka half-life dhundho. (c) Dose "cleared" maani jaati hai jab ≤ 5% bacha ho — yeh kitne time mein hota hai?
Forecast: 500 → 125 ek-fourth tak drop hai = 6 h mein do half-lives, toh har half-life 3 h hai. 5% tak clear hona 4 half-lives se thoda zyada hai (1/16 = 6.25% ), toh thoda 12 h se zyada.
Part (a) — k dhundho.
Step 1. Amount concentration ke proportional hai, toh ratio law masses par directly kaam karta hai.
ln 500 125 = − k ( 6.0 ) ⇒ ln ( 0.25 ) = − 1.386 = − 6.0 k
Yeh step kyun? First-order sirf amounts ke ratio par depend karta hai; volume cancel ho jaata hai, toh hum M ki jagah mg use kar sakte hain. Yahan sab times hours mein hain, toh k per hour mein aayega.
Step 2. k ke liye solve karo.
k = 6.0 1.386 = 0.231 h − 1
Yeh step kyun? Units h − 1 hain (inverse hours , data ke hours se match karta hai) kyunki first-order k ek concentration ko multiply karke rate deta hai — dimensionally yeh per-time hona chahiye, aur yahan time unit hour hai.
Part (b) — half-life dhundho.
Step 3. First-order half-life formula use karo.
t 1/2 = k 0.693 = 0.231 0.693 = 3.0 h
Yeh step kyun? First-order half-life ln 2/ k hai; kyunki k h − 1 mein hai, half-life seedha hours mein aata hai — koi conversion nahi chahiye kyunki k aur answer hour share karte hain. Yeh forecast confirm karta hai: do half-lives (2 × 3 h = 6 h) exactly woh time hai jo 500 → 125 mg drop ke liye diya gaya hai.
Part (c) — 5% tak pahunchne ka time.
Step 4. Remaining fraction ko 0.05 set karo aur time ke liye solve karo.
ln ( 0.05 ) = − k t ⇒ t = − k 1 ln ( 0.05 ) = − 0.231 − 2.996 = 12.97 h ≈ 13 h
Yeh step kyun? Same "time ke liye solve karo" move jaise Cell C mein — natural log exponential ko undo karke t release karta hai. Remaining fraction 0.05 matlab [ A ] t / [ A ] 0 = 0.05 , jo log ke andar jaata hai.
Verify: Forecasts confirm hue: t 1/2 = 3.0 h aur 500 e − 0.231 × 6 = 500 × 0.25 = 125 mg. ✓ Part (c) ke liye, back-substitute karo: 500 e − 0.231 × 12.97 = 500 × 0.0500 = 25 mg = 5% of 500 . ✓ Clearing time 12.97 h ≈ 4.3 half-lives, 6.25% (4 half-lives) mark se thoda aage. ✓
Sabse nasty exam questions order nahi batate . Tumhe ise data se decide karna hota hai, phir answer dena hota hai. Sabse clean tell: check karo ki equal time steps mein konsi quantity constant amount change karti hai.
Intuition Upar wali figure mein kya notice karna hai
Amber dots raw data ko 1/ [ A ] ke roop mein replot karte hain. Notice karo woh bilkul straight line par gir rahe hain — har equal 100 s step exactly same 1.00 M − 1 se 1/ [ A ] utha deta hai. Woh perfect straightness hi poora diagnosis hai: sirf second order linear hota hai jab tum 1/ [ A ] plot karo. Cyan dotted segment simply us same straight line ko ek step aur extend karta hai t = 400 s par prediction read karne ke liye (cyan square). Agar raw [ A ] (reciprocal nahi) straight hota, toh hum use 0th kehte; agar ln [ A ] straight hota, toh 1st.
Worked example Ex 8 — Yeh konsa order hai?
Ek reactant monitor kiya jaata hai:
t (s)
0
100
200
300
[ A ] (M)
1.00
0.50
0.333
0.25
Order identify karo, k dhundho, aur t = 400 s par [ A ] predict karo.
Forecast: Pehle 100 s mein concentration aadhi ho gayi, lekin 200 s tak phir aadhi nahi hui (yeh 0.25 nahi 0.333 par gayi). Aisa shrinking fall second order ka signature hai (fast then slow).
Step 1. Zero order test karo: kya Δ [ A ] constant hai? Drops hain 0.50 , 0.167 , 0.083 — constant nahi . Zero order reject.
Yeh step kyun? Zero order straight line mein girta hai (equal drops per equal time), toh unequal drops ise turant rule out karte hain.
Step 2. First order test karo: kya har step ka ratio constant hai? 0.50/1.00 = 0.50 , phir 0.333/0.50 = 0.667 — constant nahi . First order reject.
Yeh step kyun? First order har equal interval mein same factor se multiply karta hai; changing factor ise rule out karta hai.
Step 3. Second order test karo: kya 1/ [ A ] constant amount se badh raha hai?
[ A ] 1 : 1.00 , 2.00 , 3.00 , 4.00
Har step exactly 1.00 M − 1 per 100 s add karta hai. Second order confirmed.
Yeh step kyun? Second order woh hai jo 1/ [ A ] mein linear hai; perfectly constant increment woh fingerprint hai jo sirf second order dikhata hai.
Step 4. Slope se k milta hai:
k = Δ t Δ ( 1/ [ A ]) = 100 1.00 = 1.0 × 1 0 − 2 M − 1 s − 1
Yeh step kyun? Second order ke liye k exactly 1/ [ A ] -vs-t line ka slope hai; hum constant rise (1.00 M − 1 ) ko run (100 s) par read karte hain.
Step 5. t = 400 s predict karo: line continue karo, 1/ [ A ] = 1.00 + ( 0.01 ) ( 400 ) = 5.00 , toh
[ A ] 400 = 5.00 1 = 0.20 M
Yeh step kyun? Jab line ka slope aur intercept pata hai, ek step aur extrapolate karna sirf t = 400 par straight line read karna hai, phir reciprocal ko concentration mein flip karna.
Verify: Table reproduce karo: 1/ [ A ] = 1 + 0.01 t deta hai t = 200 par, 1/ [ A ] = 3 ⇒ 0.333 ✓; t = 300 par, = 4 ⇒ 0.25 ✓. Prediction 0.20 M perfect straight line continue karta hai. ✓
Sabse illuminating comparison: same [ A ] 0 aur same numeric k ko teeno half-life formulas mein daalo aur dekho kaise woh diverge karte hain. Yeh page ke upar t 1/2 define karne ka payoff hai.
Intuition Upar wali figure mein kya notice karna hai
Teen bars, same input numbers, teen alag heights . White (0th) bar sabse lamba hai — ek badi starting stock fixed removal rate par burn through hone mein zyada time leti hai. Amber (2nd) bar sabse chota hai — yahan ek bada starting concentration matlab abundant collision partners, toh pehla halving sabse jaldi hota hai. Cyan (1st) bar beech mein hai aur, critically, bilkul nahi hilega agar tum [ A ] 0 change karo — iska height sirf k par depend karta hai. Left se right dekho tum literally [ A ] 0 par teen dependences dekhte ho: proportional, independent, inverse.
Worked example Ex 9 — Ek start, teen fates
[ A ] 0 = 2.0 M aur k = 0.10 lo (har order ke apne units mein). Orders 0, 1, 2 ke liye t 1/2 calculate karo.
Forecast: Zero order "slow to start" lagni chahiye kyunki yeh fixed amount khoata hai; second order yahan sabse fast half tak pahunchna chahiye kyunki bada [ A ] 0 matlab early mein plenty of collision partners. First order [ A ] 0 ko bilkul ignore karta hai, beech mein rehta hai.
Step 1. Zero order: t 1/2 = 2 k [ A ] 0 = 2 ( 0.10 ) 2.0 = 10 s .
Yeh step kyun? Constant removal rate par aadha material — bada start matlab longer half-life ([ A ] 0 ke proportional).
Step 2. First order: t 1/2 = k 0.693 = 0.10 0.693 = 6.93 s .
Yeh step kyun? Exponential decay ek fixed time mein half hota hai regardless of [ A ] 0 — woh ek constant half-life.
Step 3. Second order: t 1/2 = k [ A ] 0 1 = ( 0.10 ) ( 2.0 ) 1 = 5.0 s .
Yeh step kyun? Yahan ek bada start actually pehle half-life ko chota karta hai — shuruaat mein collide karne ke liye plenty of partners hote hain ([ A ] 0 ke inversely proportional).
Verify: 10 , 6.93 , 5.0 s — sab alag, exactly unke [ A ] 0 par differing dependence ke according: proportional (0th), independent (1st), inverse (2nd). ✓
