Definition:the study of reaction rates Rate of Reaction:The change in concentration, ∆[ ], of a reactant or a product per unit of time • can be determined from a [ ] vs time graph Average Rate of Rxn: from the slope of the secant drawn between 2 points on the curve over a given time interval. Instantaneous Rate of Rxn: from the slope of the tangent to the curve at a specific moment in time.
Reaction Rates are given as: • as rates are positive and as the rxn proceeds, [reactants] • the rates of the different reactants and products are linked by the balanced chemical reaction. In General, for aA + bB cC + dD Rrxn req’d = rate of rxn given x mole ratio of req’d given
eg. For: 2 C2H6 + 7 O2 4 CO2 + 6 H2O The rate of reaction with respect to C2H6 is 4.0 x 10-4 mol/L•s. State the Rrxn with respect to each product and reactant. Similarly,Rrxn (CO2) = 8.0 x 10-4 mol/L•s and Rrxn (H2O) = 1.2 x 10-3 mol/L•s
Measuring Raterxn • requires an observable, measurable change that doesn’t disturb the rxn: • gas pressure or volume • conductivity due to change in ion concentration • reactions that change colour intensity
Factors Affecting the Raterxn • Nature of the Reactant eg. aqueous, gas, liquid, reactivity • depends on the strength of the inter- and intra- particle forces. • Concentration as Rate as [ ] • Temperature as Rate as T • Surface Area as Rate as S.A. • Catalyst
