Chemical Kinetics Thermodynamics – does a reaction take place? Kinetics – how fast does a reaction proceed?
Factors That Affect Reaction Rates • Physical State of the Reactants • Concentration of Reactants • Temperature • Presence of a Catalyst Fig 14.2
A B rate = D[A] D[B] rate = − Dt Dt Reaction rate - the change in the concentration of a reactant or a product with time (M/s) D[A] = change in concentration of A over time period Dt Because [A] decreases with time, D[A] is negative D[B] = change in concentration of B over time period Dt
rate = D[A] D[B] rate = − Dt Dt Fig 14.3 Progress of a hypothetical reaction A→B
Change of Rate with Time C4H9Cl (aq) + H2O (l)→ C4H9OH (aq) + HCl (aq) • Average rate decreases as reaction proceeds • As the reaction goes forward, there are fewer collisions between reactant molecules
d[CH4] rate = − dt Fig 14.4 Concentration of butylchloride as a function of time Initial rate ≡ rate at t = 0 • Instantaneous rate ≡ slope of line tangent to the curve at any point
−[C4H9Cl] t Rate = = [C4H9OH] t Reaction Rates and Stoichiometry C4H9Cl (aq) + H2O (l)→ C4H9OH (aq) + HCl (aq) • In this reaction, the ratio of C4H9Cl to C4H9OH is 1:1 • Rate of consumption of C4H9Cl = rate of formation of C4H9OH
1 2 [HI] t Rate = − = [I2] t Reaction Rates and Stoichiometry • What if the ratio is not 1:1? 2 HI (g) → H2 (g) • In such a case:

aA + bB cC + dD The Rate Law Rate law - expresses the relationship of the rate of a reaction to the rate constant and the concentrations of the reactantsraised to some powers Rate = k [A]x[B]y reaction is xth order in A reaction is yth order in B reaction is (x +y)th order overall
