4. Approximately how long will a 2 litre pool of petrol burn for? Important values: Petrol density = 0.8 kg litre-1 Heat of combustion is 45 MJ kg-1 2 litres of petrol has a mass of 1.6 kg (from the density) Total energy available from 1.6 kg petrol = 1.6 kg x 45 MJ kg-1 = 72 MJ 2 litre petrol pool is a 1 MW fire (this is a measured value) 1 MW = 1 MJ s-1 so at this rate it would take 72 s This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License

15. What does the graph show? • Graph is a straight line through the origin • The two variables have a linear mathematical relationship • We can say: Rate of Reaction is directly proportional to Hydrogen Peroxide concentration • Easy to predict what happens to reaction when [H2O2] is changed • [H2O2] x2 Rate x 2 • First Order with respect to H2O2 • k is the rate constant; first order reaction has units of s-1 when the rate of reaction is measured in mol dm-3 s-1. Show this by rearranging the rate equation and why are the units of rate important.

31. Collision theory Molecules have to collide if they are to react – increasing frequency of collisions? Increasing concentration increases the frequency of collisions Increasing pressure increases frequency of collisions Increasing temperature increases frequency of collision But not just about rate of collisions – how do we explain slow reactions?

32. Activation Energy (Enthalpy)Ea Energy of the collision must be above a certain value for reactants to react Why? Energy is needed to break bonds (remember bond enthalpies) This then creates reactive species to make new bonds The minimum energy required for a collision to result in chemical reaction is Ea This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License

35. Back to petrol • Petrol vapour reacts with oxygen (air) • But not spontaneous at room temperature • Needs ignition. What does ignition do? • Provides energy to break bonds (endothermic) • Creates reactive species (free radicals) • Self-sustaining (can remove ignition source and it carries on). Why???? • Energy released from the reaction breaks more bonds and the reaction continues This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License

37. Rate equations and Temperature The Arrhenius equation k is the rate constant; A is the pre-exponential factor; Ea is the activation energy; R is the molar gas constant (8.314 J mol-1 K-1); T is the absolute temperature (Kelvin).
