Ch 15 Rates of Chemical Reactions Chemical Kinetics is a study of the rates of chemical reactions. Part 1 macroscopic level what does reaction rate mean? how are reaction rates determined experimentally? how do factors like temp and conc influence rates? Part 2 microscopic level reaction mechanism detailed pathway taken by atoms and molecules in the reaction in order to control the reaction
Ch 15 Rates of Chemical Reactions • The rate of a chemical reaction is the change of concentration of a substance (reactant) per unit time. • Generally D conc reactant D time Slope of the line changes When Conc is large, Time is small, When Conc is small, Time is long.
Reaction Rate Terms • Concentration in mol/L [ square brackets ] • Changes D X = Xfinal - X initial • Units for reaction rates mol / L . time • Rate Expression for this reaction 2 N2O5 -> 4 NO2 + O2 1 D [N2O5]=1 D [NO2]=D [O2] 4 Dt 2 Dt Dt
Ch 15 Rates of Chemical Reactions • For a chemical reaction to occur, reactants must • physically collide, • with sufficient energy, • With appropriate geometry For the reaction to occur. Rates are dependent on these variables.
Ch 15 Rates of Chemical Reactions • Factors that affect the speed of a reaction • Concentration - greater concentration of reactions results in the faster rate. • Temperature - for endothermic reactions, faster moving molecules react at a faster rate. • Catalyst - substances that accelerate a chemical reaction, but but are not transformed by the reaction.
Effect of Concentration on Reaction Rate • The rate of a reaction is proportional to the concentration of reactants aA + bB -> xX • Rate = k [A]m[B]n k is the proportionality constant called the rate constant [A] and [B] are the concentrations of A and B m and n are determined experimentally
Effect of Concentration on Reaction Rate • Rate = k [A]m[B]n • The order of a reactant is the exponent m or n • The order of a reaction is the sum of the exponents • If the exponent is 1, doubling the concentration, doubles the rate • If the exponent is 2, doubling the concentration, quadruples the rate. • If the exponent is 0, doubling the concentration has no effect on the rate.
Effect of Concentration on Reaction Rate • Rate = k [A]m[B]n • The rate constant is k • k is a proportionality constant that relates rate and concentration at a given temperature.

Particulate View of Reaction RatesCollision Theory • The reacting molecules must collide with one another The rate of reactions is primarily related to the number of collisions which is related to the concentration of molecules. The rate of a reaction is related to the concentration of each reactant.
Collision Theory: Concentration and Reaction Rate. The rate of molecular reactions is related to the number of collisions Which is related to the concentration. Collisions directly related to Concentrations
Collision Theory: Temperature, Reaction Rate and Activation Energy • Recall the Boltzman distribution of molecular energies • The reacting molecules must collide with one another with sufficient energy • Activation Energy, Ea, minimum energy required for molecules to react.
Collision Theory: Temperature, Reaction Rate and Activation Energy • Increasing the Temperature Increases the number of molecules with sufficient energy to react.
Temperature, Reaction Rate and Activation Energy The reacting molecules must collide in an orientation that can lead to rearrangement of the atoms. A graph of this is described as the reaction pathway. Reactant molecules approach each other with Kinetic energy Kinetic energy decreases, potential increases Reactant Molecules collide and bonds rearrange Highest potential energy Transition state Activated complex Product molecules convert potential energy to Kinetic energy as they move apart from each other.

Effect of Catalysts on Reaction Rate • Substances that speed up the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the reaction barrier (changing the mechanism) • Heterogeneous catalysts (solid in solution) • Homogeneous catalysts -same phase

Reaction Mechanism • Most reactions are bimolecular • An intermediate molecule is produced and then used in the subsequent reaction(s) • Each elementary step has its own Ea and k which combine to give the overall reaction
Reaction Mechanism • Mechanisms are postulated from experimental data. • Molecularity unimolecular, bimolecular and termolecular
