First Order Reaction

First Order Reactions

The rate of the reaction is proportional to the first power of the concentration of the reactant

Let us consider a chemical reaction which occurs as follows:

\mathrm{A\ \ \ \longrightarrow \ \ \ B}

We have,
\mathrm{rate (r)=K[A]^{1}}

\mathrm{\frac{-d[A]}{dt}=K[A]}

\Rightarrow \mathrm{\frac{d[A]}{[A]}=-k dt}

Integrating both sides and putting the limits

\Rightarrow \mathrm{\int_{[A]_0}^{[A]_t}\frac{d[A]}{[A]}=-k \int _0^tdt}

\Rightarrow \mathrm{ln\left(\frac{[A]_t}{[A]_0} \right )=-kt}

Simplifying the above expression we have, 

\Rightarrow \mathrm{ln\left(\frac{[A]_0}{[A]_t} \right )=kt}

In case we are dealing in terms of a and x (where a is the initial concentration of A and x is the amount of A dissociated at any time t)

\Rightarrow \mathrm{k= \frac{1}{t}\ ln\left(\frac{[A]_0}{[A]_t} \right )=\frac{1}{t}\ ln\left(\frac{a}{a-x} \right )}

Other Forms of Rate Law

We know that the first-order equation is given as follows:

\mathrm{log_{10}A\: =\: log_{10}A_{o}\: -\: \frac{kt}{2.303}}

But there are other forms of rate law also available that we use for different purposes. These forms are mentioned below:

  • Use to solve numerical:

    \mathrm{log_{10}A\: =\: log_{10}A_{o}\: -\: \frac{kt}{2.303}}

    \mathrm{\Rightarrow log_{10}\left [ \frac{A_{o}}{A} \right]\: =\: \frac{kt}{2.303}}

    \mathrm{Thus, t\: =\: \frac{2.303}{k}\, log_{10}\left [ \frac{A_{o}}{A} \right]}
     
  • Exponential form:

    \mathrm{log_{e}A\: =\: log_{e}A_{o}\: -kt}
    \\\mathrm{\Rightarrow log\frac{A}{A_{o}}\: =\: -kt}\\\\\mathrm{\Rightarrow \frac{A}{A_{o}}\: =\: e^{-kt}}\\\\\mathrm{Thus,\: A\: =\: A_{o}e^{-kt}}
    This equation is also known as exponential form.
Half Life of First Order Reaction

The half-life of a reaction is the time in which the concentration of a reactant is reduced to one half of its initial concentration. It is represented as t1/2.
For a zero order reaction, rate constant is given as:
k=\frac{[\mathrm{R}]_{0}-[\mathrm{R}]}{t}
\text { At } t=t_{1 / 2}, \quad[\mathrm{R}]=\frac{1}{2}[\mathrm{R}]_{0}
The rate constant at t1/2 becomes:

k=\frac{[\mathrm{R}]_{0}-1 / 2[\mathrm{R}]_{0}}{t_{1 / 2}}

t_{1 / 2}=\frac{[\mathrm{R}]_{0}}{2 \mathrm{k}}
It is clear that t1/2 for a zero order reaction is directly proportional to the initial concentration of the reactants and inversely proportional to the rate constant.
For the first order reaction,

k=\frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{[\mathrm{R}]_{0}}{[\mathrm{R}]}

\text { at } t_{1 / 2} \quad[\mathrm{R}]=\frac{[\mathrm{R}]_{0}}{2}
So, the above equation becomes

k=\frac{2.303}{t_{1 / 2}} \log \frac{[\mathrm{R}]_{0}}{[\mathrm{R}]_{0} / 2}

\text { or } \quad t_{1 / 2}=\frac{2.303}{k} \log 2

t_{1 / 2}=\frac{0.693}{k}
