c. Linear graph
d. Best-fit line
i. ln[CV]t = -k’t + ln [CV]o ↔ k’ = (ln[CV] t - ln[CV]0) / -t
e. Pseudo rate constant
i. k’ = ln(0.65291) - ln(1.63414) / -1800 = 5.128 x 10 -4

i. 1
g. Value of y
i. 1
h. Value of k
i. k = k’/ [OH-] = 5.128 x 10-4 / 0.005 M NaOH = 0.10256
i. Overall rate law
i. k[OH-]y[CV]x
2. Trial two

a. Concentration of OH-
i. 0.1 M = mol / 2 ml ↔ 2.0 x 10-4 mol NaOH / (18 mL + 2 mL) = 0.01 M
b. Concentration of CV
i. 1.5 x 10-5 = mol / 18 mL ↔ 2.7 x 10 -7 mol CV / (18 mL + 2 mL) = 1.35 x 10 -5 M
c. Linear graph
d. Best-fit line
i. ln[CV]t = -k’t + ln [CV]o ↔ k’ = (ln[CV] t - ln[CV]0) / -t
e. Pseudo rate constant
i. k’ = ln(0.136547) - ln(1.680509) / -1800 = 1.395 x 10 -4
f. Value of x
i. 1
g. Value of y
i. 1
h. Value of k
i. k = k’/ [OH-] = 1.395 x 10-4 / 0.01 M NaOH = 0.1395
i. Overall rate law
i. k[OH-]y[CV]x
3. Average
a. Value of k
i. (0.1395 + 0.1026) / 2 = 0.12105
b. Value of x
 i. 1
ii. The regression line was closest to one when the first-order graph was chosen.
c. Value of y
i. 1
ii. The regression line was closest to one when the first-order graph was chosen.
Conclusion:
We were able to determine the rate of a reaction of crystal violet in the presence of NaOH by determining the
Absorbance-realated quantity of both trials. We determine the rate constant of the reaction using these values and put
them into the first-order equation to determine the overal rate law.
Post Lab:
1.
a. A = εcl
b. A = ε x 1.35 x 10 -5 M x 2.2 cm
c. A = ε x 2.97 x 10 -5
2. Your chance of error would increase. The longer trail continues the variable it becomes. You could still obtain the
same results, but you risk errors in your experiment.
