How Much, How Fast, How Far?反应有多少、有多快、进行到何处?
Three diagnostic questions about any chemical reaction: how much material is produced (stoichiometry & yield), how fast it gets there (kinetics), and how far the reaction proceeds before reaching equilibrium (extent).用三个核心问题剖析任何化学反应:有多少物质生成(化学计量(stoichiometry)与产率(percent yield))、有多快到达终点(反应速率(reaction rate)/ 反应动力学)、以及反应在达到平衡(equilibrium)前进行到何处(反应程度)。

concentration)推算出其他物质的相应量。
Balanced Equations & State Symbols配平方程式与状态符号
A chemical equation is balanced when every element has equal atom counts on both sides — a statement of conservation of mass. State symbols indicate phase: (s) solid, (l) liquid, (g) gas, (aq) aqueous solution. Use them whenever you write an equation.
当方程式两边每种元素的原子数都相等时,方程式才算配平——这是质量守恒的体现。状态符号(state symbols)标明物质的相态:(s) 固体、(l) 液体、(g) 气体、(aq) 水溶液。只要书写方程式就要标注。
The Mole Ratio摩尔比
The coefficients of a balanced equation are the mole ratio of reactants and products. From the mole ratio you can compute reacting masses, volumes (for gases or solutions), and concentrations using three standard relationships:
配平方程式中的系数就是反应物与产物之间的摩尔比(mole ratio)。由摩尔比出发,可以借助下面三条标准关系式,计算反应中各物质的质量、体积(气体或溶液)以及浓度:
molar mass),单位 g mol⁻¹。理想气体(ideal gas)在 STP(STP)下 $V_m = 22.7~\mathrm{dm^3\,mol^{-1}}$。浓度单位为 $\mathrm{mol\,dm^{-3}}$。Worked Example — Mass from Mole Ratio例题 — 由摩尔比求质量
What mass of CO₂ is produced when 8.0 g of CH₄ burns completely in oxygen?8.0 g 的 CH₄ 在氧气中完全燃烧,生成 CO₂ 的质量是多少?
Limiting Reactant & Theoretical Yield限量试剂与理论产量
When reactants aren't supplied in exact stoichiometric ratio, one runs out first: the limiting reactant. It caps how much product can form (the theoretical yield); the others are in excess.
当反应物不是按精确的化学计量比投料时,总有一种最先耗尽——这就是限量试剂(limiting reagent / limiting reactant)。它决定了产物的最大可能生成量(即理论产量(theoretical yield)),其余物质则属于过量试剂。
Percentage Yield产率(百分产率)
The experimental yield is what you actually obtain in a real reaction; it's almost always less than the theoretical yield due to incomplete reaction, side reactions, losses on transfer, and impure reactants.
实验产量(experimental yield)是真实反应中实际获得的产物量;由于反应不完全、副反应、转移损耗以及反应物纯度不足,它几乎总是小于理论产量。
percent yield)Worked Example — Limiting Reactant & % Yield例题 — 限量试剂与产率
25.0 g of N₂ is reacted with 6.00 g of H₂ to make NH₃ via the Haber process: $\mathrm{N_2 + 3H_2 \to 2NH_3}$. If 22.5 g of NH₃ is obtained, find (i) the limiting reactant and (ii) the percentage yield.将 25.0 g N₂ 与 6.00 g H₂ 按哈伯法(Haber process)合成氨:$\mathrm{N_2 + 3H_2 \to 2NH_3}$。若实际获得 22.5 g NH₃,求 (i) 限量试剂;(ii) 产率。
Atom Economy & Green Chemistry原子经济性与绿色化学
The atom economy measures what fraction of the reactant mass ends up in the desired product (as opposed to wasted by-products). It's a different efficiency metric than % yield: a reaction with a high % yield can still have a low atom economy if it produces a lot of by-product per useful molecule.
原子经济性(atom economy)衡量反应物中有多少质量最终进入目标产物(而不是浪费在副产物上)。它和产率(percent yield)是不同维度的"效率"指标:即使一个反应的产率很高,只要每生成一个目标分子就伴随大量副产物,它的原子经济性仍可能很低。
stoichiometry)来看,反应本身浪费多少?(本征 / 化学层面)工业过程力求两者同时最大化。
How Fast? The Rate of Chemical Change反应有多快?—— 化学反应的速率
reaction rate)?反应速率由碰撞频率、碰撞取向,以及能量达到反应阈值的碰撞所占比例共同决定。
Defining Reaction Rate反应速率的定义
The rate of a reaction is the change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit time. For a generic reaction $aA + bB \to cC + dD$:
反应速率(reaction rate)指单位时间内反应物或产物浓度的变化量。对于通式 $aA + bB \to cC + dD$:
In practice you read the rate off a graph of concentration vs. time: the tangent at any point gives the instantaneous rate at that moment. Concentration is rarely measured directly — typical proxies include gas volume, mass loss (CO₂ released), pH, absorbance, conductivity, or titration of a quenched sample.
实际操作中,速率是从"浓度—时间"曲线上读取的:曲线上任一点的切线斜率就是该时刻的瞬时速率。浓度本身很少直接测量——常用替代量包括气体体积、质量损失(如 CO₂ 释放)、pH、吸光度、电导率,或对淬灭样品进行滴定。
Collision Theory碰撞理论
For two species to react, their particles must collide with two prerequisites:
两种物种要发生反应,其粒子必须发生碰撞(collision theory),且需同时满足两个前提条件:
- Sufficient kinetic energy — at least the activation energy $E_a$.
- Correct orientation — the reactive parts of the molecules must meet (the "steric factor").
- 足够的动能——至少达到活化能(
activation energy)$E_a$。 - 正确的取向——分子上有反应活性的部位必须正好相对(即"空间因子" / steric factor)。
The kinetic energy of particles is determined by temperature: in Kelvin, $\langle KE \rangle \propto T$. Doubling the absolute temperature doubles the average kinetic energy — but, far more importantly, it shifts the tail of the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution past $E_a$, which is what really drives rate up.
粒子的动能由温度决定:以开尔文为单位时,$\langle KE \rangle \propto T$。绝对温度加倍,平均动能也加倍——但更关键的是,这会把麦克斯韦-玻尔兹曼分布(Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution)的高能尾巴推过 $E_a$,这才是速率显著升高的真正原因。
Factors That Affect Rate影响反应速率的因素
| Factor | Effect on rate | Mechanism |
|---|---|---|
| Concentration ↑ (or pressure ↑ for gases) | ↑ | More particles per volume → more collisions per second |
| Surface area ↑ (for solids) | ↑ | More exposed particles available to collide |
| Temperature ↑ | ↑↑ (large) | More particles exceed $E_a$ (shifts Maxwell–Boltzmann tail) |
| Catalyst added | ↑↑ | Lowers $E_a$ by providing an alternative pathway |
| 因素 | 对速率的影响 | 机理 |
|---|---|---|
| 浓度 ↑(气体则压强 ↑) | ↑ | 单位体积内粒子更多 → 单位时间内碰撞次数更多 |
| 表面积 ↑(固体反应物) | ↑ | 更多粒子暴露在外可发生碰撞 |
| 温度 ↑ | ↑↑(显著) | 更多粒子能量超过 $E_a$(麦克斯韦-玻尔兹曼分布尾部右移) |
加入催化剂(catalyst) | ↑↑ | 提供较低 $E_a$ 的替代路径 |
Activation Energy & the Maxwell–Boltzmann Distribution活化能与麦克斯韦-玻尔兹曼分布
The activation energy $E_a$ is the minimum kinetic energy a colliding pair must have for the collision to be successful. A Maxwell–Boltzmann (MB) distribution plots the number of particles vs. kinetic energy at a given temperature:
活化能(activation energy)$E_a$ 是发生有效碰撞所必须达到的最低动能。麦克斯韦-玻尔兹曼分布(Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution,简称 MB 分布)描绘了在某一温度下粒子数随动能的分布曲线:
- The area to the right of $E_a$ = the fraction of particles with enough energy to react.
- Raising $T$ flattens and broadens the distribution, shifting the peak right and dramatically increasing the high-energy tail.
- A small increase in $T$ produces a large increase in the area beyond $E_a$ — this is why rate is very sensitive to temperature.
- $E_a$ 右侧的面积 = 动能足以反应的粒子所占比例。
- 升高 $T$ 会使曲线变得低而宽、峰值右移,并显著增大高能尾部的面积。
- $T$ 即使只升高一点点,$E_a$ 以上的面积也会大幅增加——这就是反应速率对温度极其敏感的根源。
Catalysts & Energy Profiles催化剂与能量轮廓
A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction by providing an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy. The catalyst is regenerated in a later step, so it isn't consumed. Energy profiles for catalysed vs uncatalysed reactions:
催化剂(catalyst)通过提供一条活化能更低的替代路径来加快反应。它会在后续步骤中再生,所以不被消耗。下面比较催化与未催化反应的能量轮廓(energy profile):
- Lower $E_a$ for both forward and reverse reactions equally (no shift in equilibrium — see Reactivity 2.3).
- Don't change $\Delta H$ — the energy difference between reactants and products is fixed by the chemistry.
- Enzymes are biological catalysts; they're typically extremely selective.
- Homogeneous vs heterogeneous mechanisms are not assessed at IB.
- 同时等量地降低正反应和逆反应的 $E_a$(因此不影响平衡——见 Reactivity 2.3)。
- 不改变 $\Delta H$——反应物和产物之间的能量差由化学本性决定。
- 酶是生物催化剂,通常具有极高的选择性。
- 均相 vs 非均相催化机理不在 IB 考核范围内。
Worked Example — Rate from a Concentration-Time Tangent例题 — 由"浓度—时间"切线求速率
A reactant's concentration drops from 0.500 to 0.380 mol dm⁻³ over the first 30 s of a reaction. Estimate the initial rate (with respect to this reactant).某反应物在反应前 30 s 内浓度由 0.500 降至 0.380 mol dm⁻³。估算初始速率(以该反应物计)。
Reaction Mechanisms & the Rate-Determining Step反应机理与决速步骤 HL
Most reactions proceed through a series of elementary steps rather than a single concerted event. The overall rate is set by the rate-determining step (RDS) — the slowest step in the mechanism. Reaction intermediates are species formed in one step and consumed in a later step; transition states, by contrast, are unstable maxima on the energy profile and exist only fleetingly.
大多数反应并不是一步到位,而是经过一系列基元反应(elementary step)进行。整个反应的速率由决速步骤(rate-determining step,简称 RDS)决定——也就是机理中最慢的一步。反应中间体(intermediate)是在某一步生成、又在后续步骤中消耗的物种;而过渡态(transition state)则是能量轮廓上不稳定的能量极大值点,仅瞬间存在。
A proposed mechanism must be consistent with both (a) the observed rate equation and (b) the stoichiometry of the overall reaction. The RDS is not necessarily the first step.
所提出的机理必须同时满足两点:(a) 与观测到的速率方程(rate equation)一致;(b) 总和后能给出反应的总化学计量。RDS 不一定是第一步。
Molecularity & Rate Equations分子数与速率方程 HL
The molecularity of an elementary step is the number of particles that react in that step:
一个基元反应(elementary step)的分子数(molecularity)指该步参与反应的粒子数:
- Unimolecular — one particle (e.g. a decomposition).
- Bimolecular — two particles (the most common elementary step).
- Termolecular — three particles (rare; statistically unlikely).
- 单分子反应(unimolecular)——1 个粒子(如分解反应)。
- 双分子反应(bimolecular)——2 个粒子(最常见的基元反应类型)。
- 三分子反应(termolecular)——3 个粒子(极少见;统计上几乎不可能)。
order of reaction),$n$ 为对 $B$ 的级数。反应级数必须通过实验确定——不能直接从配平方程式上读出。The overall reaction order is the sum of the individual orders ($m + n$). At IB HL only integer orders (0, 1, 2) will be assessed.
总反应级数为各组分级数之和($m + n$)。IB HL 仅考核整数级数(0、1、2)。
Zero, First, and Second Order Reactions零级、一级、二级反应 HL
| Order | Rate law | [A]–t graph | Rate–[A] graph |

The Rate Constant k速率常数 k HL
The rate constant $k$ is temperature-dependent (Arrhenius — see below) and has units determined by the overall order so that rate always comes out in $\mathrm{mol\,dm^{-3}\,s^{-1}}$:
速率常数(rate constant)$k$ 随温度变化(Arrhenius——见下文),其单位由总反应级数决定,从而保证 rate 的单位始终是 $\mathrm{mol\,dm^{-3}\,s^{-1}}$:
| Overall order | Units of $k$ |
|---|---|
| 0 | $\mathrm{mol\,dm^{-3}\,s^{-1}}$ |
| 1 | $\mathrm{s^{-1}}$ |
| 2 | $\mathrm{dm^3\,mol^{-1}\,s^{-1}}$ |
| 3 | $\mathrm{dm^6\,mol^{-2}\,s^{-1}}$ |
| 总反应级数 | $k$ 的单位 |
|---|---|
| 0 | $\mathrm{mol\,dm^{-3}\,s^{-1}}$ |
| 1 | $\mathrm{s^{-1}}$ |
| 2 | $\mathrm{dm^3\,mol^{-1}\,s^{-1}}$ |
| 3 | $\mathrm{dm^6\,mol^{-2}\,s^{-1}}$ |
Worked Example — Rate Equation from Initial-Rates Data例题 — 由初始速率法导出速率方程
For the reaction $\mathrm{A + 2B \to C}$, initial rates were measured at fixed temperature with different starting concentrations:对于反应 $\mathrm{A + 2B \to C}$,在固定温度下用不同初始浓度测得初始速率(initial rate)如下:
| Run | $[A]_0$ (mol dm⁻³) | $[B]_0$ (mol dm⁻³) | Initial rate (mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.10 | 0.10 | $2.0 \times 10^{-4}$ |
| 2 | 0.20 | 0.10 | $4.0 \times 10^{-4}$ |
| 3 | 0.10 | 0.20 | $8.0 \times 10^{-4}$ |
| 实验 | $[A]_0$ (mol dm⁻³) | $[B]_0$ (mol dm⁻³) | 初始速率 (mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.10 | 0.10 | $2.0 \times 10^{-4}$ |
| 2 | 0.20 | 0.10 | $4.0 \times 10^{-4}$ |
| 3 | 0.10 | 0.20 | $8.0 \times 10^{-4}$ |
Find the order with respect to A, the order with respect to B, the overall order, and $k$ with its units.
求对 A 的级数、对 B 的级数、总反应级数,以及带单位的 $k$。
The Arrhenius Equation阿伦尼乌斯方程 HL
The rate constant's temperature dependence is captured by the Arrhenius equation:
速率常数 $k$ 对温度的依赖关系由阿伦尼乌斯方程(Arrhenius equation)描述:
The linear form — obtained by taking $\ln$ of both sides — is what you actually use in problem-solving:
对两边取 $\ln$ 得到线性形式,这才是做题时常用的形式:
Worked Example — Arrhenius Plot to Find E_a例题 — 用阿伦尼乌斯关系求 $E_a$
A reaction has $k = 2.5 \times 10^{-3}~\mathrm{s^{-1}}$ at 300 K and $k = 4.0 \times 10^{-2}~\mathrm{s^{-1}}$ at 350 K. Estimate $E_a$.某反应在 300 K 时 $k = 2.5 \times 10^{-3}~\mathrm{s^{-1}}$,在 350 K 时 $k = 4.0 \times 10^{-2}~\mathrm{s^{-1}}$。估算 $E_a$。
How Far? The Extent of Chemical Change反应进行到何处?—— 化学变化的程度
equilibrium)常数告诉你反应最终"停"在哪里;勒夏特列原理(Le Chatelier's principle)则告诉你外界扰动会让这个"停留点"如何移动。
Dynamic Equilibrium动态平衡
A reversible reaction in a closed system reaches dynamic equilibrium when the forward and reverse rates become equal. Macroscopic properties (concentrations, colour, pressure) stop changing, but the forward and reverse processes never stop — they merely cancel.
在密闭体系中,可逆反应在正反应和逆反应速率相等时达到动态平衡(dynamic equilibrium)。此时宏观性质(浓度、颜色、压强)保持不变,但正、逆两个方向的过程并未停止——只是互相抵消。
- Forward rate = reverse rate (continuous interchange).
- Closed system (no leakage of reactants or products to the surroundings).
- Constant macroscopic properties (concentration, pressure, colour).
- Reached from either direction (the same $K$ is obtained starting from reactants or starting from products).
- 正反应速率 = 逆反应速率(持续地相互转化)。
- 密闭体系(反应物或产物不与外界交换)。
- 宏观性质保持恒定(浓度、压强、颜色)。
- 从任一方向出发都能达到(从反应物或产物开始都得到相同的 $K$)。
The Equilibrium Constant K平衡常数 K
For a homogeneous reaction $aA + bB \rightleftharpoons cC + dD$ at a given temperature, the equilibrium law says:
对于均相反应 $aA + bB \rightleftharpoons cC + dD$,在给定温度下平衡定律给出平衡常数(equilibrium constant,$K_c$ / $K_p$)的表达式:
For the reverse reaction at the same temperature, $K_\text{rev} = 1/K_\text{fwd}$. If you multiply a reaction's coefficients by $n$, the new equilibrium constant is $K^n$.
在同一温度下,逆反应的平衡常数 $K_\text{rev} = 1/K_\text{fwd}$。若将整条方程式的系数同乘以 $n$,新的平衡常数就变为 $K^n$。
What the Magnitude of K Tells You$K$ 的大小说明什么
| $K$ | Extent of reaction at equilibrium |
|---|---|
| $K \gg 1$ | Products strongly favoured (reaction essentially "goes to completion"). |
| $K > 1$ | Products favoured, but reactants still present. |
| $K = 1$ | Comparable amounts of reactants and products. |
| $K < 1$ | Reactants favoured. |
| $K \ll 1$ | Reactants strongly favoured (reaction barely proceeds). |
| $K$ | 平衡时反应进行程度 |
|---|---|
| $K \gg 1$ | 强烈偏向产物(反应基本"进行到底")。 |
| $K > 1$ | 产物占优,但仍有反应物存在。 |
| $K = 1$ | 反应物与产物量相当。 |
| $K < 1$ | 反应物占优。 |
| $K \ll 1$ | 强烈偏向反应物(反应几乎不进行)。 |
Le Châtelier's Principle勒夏特列原理
If a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the equilibrium will shift to partially counteract the disturbance. This lets you predict qualitatively how the position changes without doing the full thermodynamics. Important: $K$ itself only changes with temperature; concentration and pressure shifts re-establish the same $K$.
若处于平衡的体系受到外界扰动,平衡会发生移动以部分抵消该扰动。这条原理(Le Chatelier's principle)让你在不做完整热力学计算的情况下定性预测平衡位置如何变化。要点:$K$ 本身只随温度变化;浓度和压强的扰动最终都会回到同一个 $K$ 值。
| Disturbance | Direction of shift | Changes $K$? |
|---|---|---|
| ↑ [reactant] | → products | No |
| ↑ [product] | ← reactants | No |
| ↑ pressure (gas) | Toward side with fewer moles of gas | No |
| ↑ temperature | In endothermic direction | Yes |
| Catalyst added | No shift | No |
| 扰动 | 平衡移动方向 | 是否改变 $K$? |
|---|---|---|
| ↑ [反应物] | → 正向(产物方向) | 否 |
| ↑ [产物] | ← 逆向(反应物方向) | 否 |
| ↑ 压强(气体) | 向气体摩尔数较小的一侧 | 否 |
| ↑ 温度 | 向吸热方向 | 是 |
加入催化剂(catalyst) | 不移动 | 否 |
Worked Example — Le Châtelier Predictions例题 — 勒夏特列原理预测
For the Haber process: $\mathrm{N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)}$, $\Delta H = -92~\mathrm{kJ\,mol^{-1}}$. Predict the direction of shift and the effect on the yield of NH₃ for each change.哈伯法合成氨:$\mathrm{N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)}$,$\Delta H = -92~\mathrm{kJ\,mol^{-1}}$。预测下列变化下平衡移动方向以及对 NH₃ 产量的影响。
The Reaction Quotient Q反应商 Q HL
The reaction quotient $Q$ has the same form as the equilibrium expression but uses any instantaneous concentrations — not necessarily equilibrium ones. Comparing $Q$ to $K$ tells you which way the reaction will go to reach equilibrium:
反应商(reaction quotient)$Q$ 的表达式形式与平衡常数相同,但代入的是任意瞬时浓度(不必是平衡浓度)。将 $Q$ 与 $K$ 比较即可判断反应朝哪个方向进行才能达到平衡:
| Comparison | Status | Reaction will… |
|---|---|---|
| $Q < K$ | Too few products | Proceed forward (→ products) |
| $Q = K$ | At equilibrium | No net change |
| $Q > K$ | Too many products | Proceed backward (← reactants) |
| 比较 | 当前状态 | 反应将… |
|---|---|---|
| $Q < K$ | 产物太少 | 正向进行(→ 产物方向) |
| $Q = K$ | 处于平衡 | 无净变化 |
| $Q > K$ | 产物太多 | 逆向进行(← 反应物方向) |
Quantitative Equilibrium Calculations (ICE)平衡定量计算(ICE 表) HL
To find equilibrium composition given initial concentrations and $K$, use an ICE table (Initial / Change / Equilibrium). When $K$ is very small, the approximation $[\text{reactant}]_\text{initial} \approx [\text{reactant}]_\text{eqm}$ avoids needing quadratics.
已知初始浓度和 $K$,求平衡组成时采用 ICE 表(Initial 初始 / Change 变化 / Equilibrium 平衡)。当 $K$ 极小时,可用近似 $[\text{反应物}]_\text{initial} \approx [\text{反应物}]_\text{eqm}$,避免解一元二次方程。
Worked Example — Small-K Equilibrium例题 — 小 K 值平衡
For the dissociation $\mathrm{N_2O_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)}$, $K_c = 4.6 \times 10^{-3}$ at 298 K. If 0.20 mol of $\mathrm{N_2O_4}$ is placed in a 1.0 dm³ flask, find the equilibrium concentrations.对于离解反应 $\mathrm{N_2O_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)}$,298 K 时 $K_c = 4.6 \times 10^{-3}$。若将 0.20 mol $\mathrm{N_2O_4}$ 置于 1.0 dm³ 烧瓶中,求平衡时各组分浓度。
Linking K to Gibbs Energy$K$ 与吉布斯自由能的联系 HL
The equilibrium constant and the standard Gibbs energy change are two views of the same thing — both tell you where a reaction settles:
平衡常数与标准吉布斯自由能(Gibbs free energy)变化是同一件事的两种视角——它们都告诉你反应最终停在哪里:
- $\Delta G^{\ominus} \ll 0 \Rightarrow K \gg 1$: products strongly favoured.
- $\Delta G^{\ominus} = 0 \Rightarrow K = 1$: comparable amounts.
- $\Delta G^{\ominus} \gg 0 \Rightarrow K \ll 1$: reactants strongly favoured.
- $\Delta G^{\ominus} \ll 0 \Rightarrow K \gg 1$:强烈偏向产物。
- $\Delta G^{\ominus} = 0 \Rightarrow K = 1$:反应物与产物量相当。
- $\Delta G^{\ominus} \gg 0 \Rightarrow K \ll 1$:强烈偏向反应物。
Worked Example — Gibbs Energy from K例题 — 由 K 求吉布斯自由能
For the reaction $\mathrm{H_2(g) + I_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2HI(g)}$, $K_c = 50.0$ at 700 K. Calculate $\Delta G^{\ominus}$.反应 $\mathrm{H_2(g) + I_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2HI(g)}$ 在 700 K 时 $K_c = 50.0$。计算 $\Delta G^{\ominus}$。

Reactivity 2 questions here lean on qualitative reasoning: identify the limiting reactant from mole ratios you can do in your head, predict the direction of a Le Châtelier shift, classify orders from a rate–[A] graph, or sketch a Maxwell–Boltzmann shift. Don't burn time on numerical kinetics in Paper 1 — there's no calculator.
本卷的 Reactivity 2 题以定性推理为主:用心算的摩尔比判断限量试剂(limiting reagent)、预测勒夏特列原理(Le Chatelier's principle)下平衡移动方向、从速率–[A] 图判定反应级数(order of reaction),或勾勒麦克斯韦-玻尔兹曼分布的变化。不要在 Paper 1 上死磕动力学数值题——你没有计算器。
This is where the numerical Reactivity 2 work lives. Expect (a) a stoichiometry problem with limiting reactant + % yield (often combined with atom economy), (b) a kinetics question with initial-rates data or an Arrhenius plot, and (c) an equilibrium question — usually $K$ from concentration data, then a Le Châtelier prediction, sometimes plus a $\Delta G^{\ominus}$ calculation at HL.
Reactivity 2 的数值题主要落在这里。常见题型:(a) 化学计量题,含限量试剂 + 产率(往往一并考原子经济性);(b) 动力学题,给出初始速率数据或阿伦尼乌斯(Arrhenius equation)作图;(c) 平衡题——通常先由浓度数据求 $K$,再做一道勒夏特列预测,HL 还可能加一题 $\Delta G^{\ominus}$ 的计算。
Reactivity 2 commonly drives Paper-3 data analysis: a clock-reaction or gas-collection experiment, where you plot, identify reaction order, and extract $k$ and $E_a$. Practice reading the slope of $\ln k$ vs $1/T$ and connecting it to $E_a = -R \cdot \text{slope}$.
Reactivity 2 是 Paper 3 数据分析题的常客:典型场景是钟摆反应或气体收集实验,要求你作图、判定反应级数、并求出 $k$ 和 $E_a$。务必练熟读取 $\ln k$ 对 $1/T$ 的斜率并据此得到 $E_a = -R \cdot \text{slope}$。
Common Mistakes常见错误
percent yield)和原子经济性混为一谈
% yield is about practical efficiency (you didn't get back as much as you should have); atom economy is about intrinsic efficiency (the reaction by its stoichiometry produces wasteful by-products). A reaction can have 100% yield and only 30% atom economy.产率衡量的是实操层面的效率(你没能拿回应得的全部产物);原子经济性衡量的是本征层面的效率(反应按化学计量本身就会产生废副产物)。一个反应完全可能 100% 产率但只有 30% 原子经济性。
