16.1 Collision Theory • Molecules must hit/collide in order to react and make products • A successful collision results in reactant bonds breaking and/or product bonds forming • To increase the # of successful collisions: • you need more collisions. • you need enough energy, Ea, activation energy. • the molecules must be oriented correctly. http://www.mhhe.com/physsci/chemistry/animations/chang_2e/orientation_of_collision.swf
To Increase the Rate of Reaction • Increase [reactant], more reactants = more collisions • Increase temperature, molecules move faster = more collisions AND more energy • Add a catalyst which provides an alternate reaction pathway with lower Ea Activation Energy, Ea, is the minimum energy needed to react (turn reactants to products)
16.2 Energy Profiles • Transition state = in between reactants and products, the reactant bonds are ½ broken and product bonds ½ formed, so this is a very high energy and unstable species, exists less than a millisecond • DH = change in heat energy = product’s heat – reactant’s heat • Endothermic = reactants gain or absorb heat, heat is a reactant, heat enters the rxn • Reactants + Heat g Products • Exothermic = reactants lose or release heat, heat is a product, heat exits the rxn • Reactants g Products + Heat
- Exothermic, is DH + or -?
Draw the energy profile for an endothermic reaction • Label the • TS • DH • Reactants • Products • EA
+ Endothermic, is DH + or -?
