  2. Chemical Identity • A chemical species is said to have reacted when it has lost its chemical identity.

  3. Chemical Identity • A chemical species is said to have reacted when it has lost its chemical identity. • The identity of a chemical species is determined by the kind, number, and configuration of that species’ atoms.

  4. Chemical Identity • A chemical species is said to have reacted when it has lost its chemical identity. • The identity of a chemical species is determined by the kind, number, and configuration of that species’ atoms. 1. Decomposition

  5. Chemical Identity • A chemical species is said to have reacted when it has lost its chemical identity. • The identity of a chemical species is determined by the kind, number, and configuration of that species’ atoms. 1. Decomposition 2. Combination

  6. Chemical Identity • A chemical species is said to have reacted when it has lost its chemical identity. • The identity of a chemical species is determined by the kind, number, and configuration of that species’ atoms. 1. Decomposition 2. Combination 3. Isomerization

  7. Reaction Rate • The reaction rate is the rate at which a species looses its chemical identity per unit volume.

  8. Reaction Rate • The reaction rate is the rate at which a species looses its chemical identity per unit volume. • The rate of a reaction can be expressed as the rate of disappearance of a reactant or as the rate of appearance of a product.

  9. Reaction Rate • The reaction rate is the rate at which a species looses its chemical identity per unit volume. • The rate of a reaction can be expressed as the rate of disappearance of a reactant or as the rate of appearance of a product. Consider species A:

  10. Reaction Rate • The reaction rate is the rate at which a species looses its chemical identity per unit volume. • The rate of a reaction can be expressed as the rate of disappearance of a reactant or as the rate of appearance of a product. Consider species A: rA = the rate of formation of species A per unit volume

  11. Reaction Rate • The reaction rate is the rate at which a species looses its chemical identity per unit volume. • The rate of a reaction can be expressed as the rate of disappearance of a reactant or as the rate of appearance of a product. Consider species A: rA = the rate of formation of species A per unit volume -rA = the rate of a disappearance of species A per unit volume

  12. Reaction Rate • The reaction rate is the rate at which a species looses its chemical identity per unit volume. • The rate of a reaction can be expressed as the rate of disappearance of a reactant or as the rate of appearance of a product. Consider species A: rA = the rate of formation of species A per unit volume -rA = the rate of a disappearance of species A per unit volume rB = the rate of formation of species B per unit volume

  13. Reaction Rate • EXAMPLE: • If B is being formed at 0.2 moles per decimeter cubed per second, ie, • rB = 0.2 mole/dm3/s

  14. Reaction Rate • EXAMPLE: • If B is being formed at 0.2 moles per decimeter cubed per second, ie, • rB = 0.2 mole/dm3/s • Then A is disappearing at the same rate: • -rA= 0.2 mole/dm3/s

  15. Reaction Rate • EXAMPLE: • If B is being formed at 0.2 moles per decimeter cubed per second, ie, • rB = 0.2 mole/dm3/s • Then A is disappearing at the same rate: • -rA= 0.2 mole/dm3/s • The rate of formation (generation of A) is • rA= -0.2 mole/dm3/s

  16. Reaction Rate • For a catalytic reaction, we refer to -rA', which is the rate of disappearance of species A on a per mass of catalyst basis.

  17. Reaction Rate • For a catalytic reaction, we refer to -rA', which is the rate of disappearance of species A on a per mass of catalyst basis. NOTE: dCA/dt is not the rate of reaction

  18. Reaction Rate Consider species j:

  19. Reaction Rate Consider species j: • rj is the rate of formation of species j per unit volume [e.g. mol/dm3*s]

  20. Reaction Rate Consider species j: • rj is the rate of formation of species j per unit volume [e.g. mol/dm3*s] • rj is a function of concentration, temperature, pressure, and the type of catalyst (if any)

  21. Reaction Rate Consider species j: • rj is the rate of formation of species j per unit volume [e.g. mol/dm3*s] • rj is a function of concentration, temperature, pressure, and the type of catalyst (if any) • rj is independent of the type of reaction system (batch, plug flow, etc.)

  22. Reaction Rate Consider species j: • rj is the rate of formation of species j per unit volume [e.g. mol/dm3*s] • rj is a function of concentration, temperature, pressure, and the type of catalyst (if any) • rj is independent of the type of reaction system (batch, plug flow, etc.) • rj is an algebraic equation, not a differential equation

  23. Reaction Rate Consider species j: • rj is the rate of formation of species j per unit volume [e.g. mol/dm3*s] • rj is a function of concentration, temperature, pressure, and the type of catalyst (if any) • rj is independent of the type of reaction system (batch, plug flow, etc.) • rj is an algebraic equation, not a differential equation • We use an algebraic equation to relate the rate of reaction, -rA, to the concentration of reacting species and to the temperature at which the reaction occurs [e.g. -rA = k(T)CA2].
