Generally, as T increases, so does the reaction rate

k is temperature dependent

In a chemical rxn, bonds are broken and new bonds are formed

Molecules can only react if they collide with each other

Furthermore, molecules must collide with the correct orientation and with enough energy

e.g., suppose Ea = 100 kJ/mol at T = 300 K:

f = e-Ea

RT = 3.9 x 10-18 (implies very few energetic molecules)

at T = 300 K: f = 1.4 x 10-17 (about 3.6 times more molecules)

Sample Exercise 14.11 The following table shows the rate constants for the rearrangement of methyl isonitrile at various temperatures:

(a) From these data, calculate the activation energy for the reaction.

(b) What is the value of the rate constant at 430.0 K?

Page 15: Chemical Kinetics

Solution

Analyze: We are given rate constants, k, measured at several temperatures and asked to determine the activation energy, Ea, and the rate constant, k, at a particular temperature.

Plan: We can obtain Ea from the slope of a graph of ln k versus 1/T and the rate constant, k, at a particular temperature. Once we know Ea, we can use Equation 14.21 together with the given rate data to calculate the rate constant at 430.0 K.

Page 16: Chemical Kinetics

Solve: (a) We must first convert the temperatures from degrees Celsius to kelvins. We then take the inverse of each temperature, 1/T, and the natural log of each rate constant, ln k.

Page 17: Chemical Kinetics

A graph of ln k versus 1/T results in a straight line, as shown in Figure 14.17:

slope = − Ea/R = − 1.9 x 104

Page 18: Chemical Kinetics

We use the value for the molar gas constant R in units of J/mol-K (Table 10.2). We thus obtain

Page 19: Chemical Kinetics

(b) To determine the rate constant, k1, at T1 = 430.0 K, we can use Equation 14.21 with Ea = 160 kJ/mol, and one of the rate constants and temperatures from the given data, such as:

k2 = 2.52 × 10–5 s–1 and T2 = 462.9 K:

Thus,

Note that the units of k1 are the same as those of k2.

Practice ExerciseThe first-order rate constant for the reaction ofmethyl chloride with water to produce methanol andhydrochloric acid is 3.32 x 10-10 s-1 at 25 °C. Calculatethe rate constant at 40 °C if the activation energy is116 kJ/mol.
