Rate of Reactions{Chemical Kinetics}
Chemical Kinetics
• Chemical kinetics is the branch of chemistry concerned with the rates of chemical reactions
• A rate is a change in a measurable quantity over time
• Different chemical reactions proceed from reactants to products at different rates (e.g. combustion of propane and oxidation of silver)
Reaction Rate
• The reaction rate of a chemical reaction is the change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit time
• Δc is measured in mol/L
• Δt is measured in s
• r is measured in mol/(Ls)
Fast or Slow Reactions
• Extremely slow reactions– Iron rusting– Limestone weathering
• Extremely fast reactions– Explosion
Measuring Rate of Reactions
• Some rate of reactions have detectable change with respect to time
• Changes that are observable like– When a volume of gas is given off– When this is a change in mass during the
reaction– When there are temperature changes– When there are colour changes– When a precipitate forms– When there are pH changes

According to Collision Theory what factors determine whether a reaction happens or not?
According to Thermochemistry, what two factors determine whether a reaction is favoured?
Collision theory
• Theory that explains how factors affect rate of reaction
• Before reaction can occur, particles must first collide
• Particles collide so that bonds are broken and new bonds can form
Collision theory
• Collision of particles must be effective collisions to produce result
• Effective collisions are collisions which – produce enough energy to overcome
energy of activation– correct orientation
Orientation
Collision theory
• Activation energy is the minimum energy the colliding particles must overcome so that reaction occur
• In order for particles to overcome the activation energy, several factors are involved
• So lets say collision theory is determining that a reaction can happen….what factors determine how fast it will happen?
• Mr McCormack is cooking a roast dinner but his over-sized potatoes are not boiling fast enough….what measures can he take to increase the rate of reaction???
How factors affect rate of reaction according to collision theory
How factors affect rate of reaction according to collision theory
• Size of reactant for solid reactant• Temperature of reactant mixture• Concentration of solution reactant• Presence of catalyst• Pressure on the reaction
Concentration
• Rate of reaction increases with increasing concentration
• Higher concentration, more reacting particles are present
• Greater probability of an effective collision
• Faster rate of reaction

Temperature
• Rate of reaction increases with increasing temperature
• High temperature, particles have greater heat energy
• Particles move faster with greater kinetic energy
• Leading to more collisions between particles
• Increased probability of effective collision• Reactions take place faster
• Speed of reaction doubles when the temperature
rises by 10 C

A reaction is fast , the time taken for the reaction is short .
A reaction is slow, the time taken for the reaction is long .
The rate of reaction depends to the speed of reaction .
If a reaction is fast, its rate of reaction is high .
If a reaction is slow, its rate of reaction is low .
The rate of reaction is inversely proportional with time .

The Rate Law: Reactant Concentration and Rate
The rate of a chemical reaction depends on several
factors ….
Relating Reactant Concentrations and Rate
Consider the general reaction below.
aA + bB cC + dD
This reaction occurs at constant temperature
The reactant formulas are represented by A and B
The stoichiometric coefficients are represented by
a and b
In this section we will look at reaction rates that are not
affected by concentrations of products
In general, the rate of a reaction increases when the
concentrations of reactants increases.
The dependence of of the rate of a reaction on the con-
centration is given by:
OR Rate=k[A]m
This relationship can be expressed in a general
equation called the rate law equation
For any reaction, the rate law equation expresses the
relationship between the concentrations of the
reactants and the rate of the equation.
The letter k represents the proportionality constant
called the rate constant
There is a different rate constant for each reaction at
any given temperature
The exponents m and n must be determined by exp-
eriment.
The do not necessarily correspond to the coefficients
of their reactants
They are usually 1 or 2, but values of 0, 3 even fractions
can occur
HOW CONCENTRATION EFFECTS REACTION RATES (REACTION ORDER)
• REACTIONS WITH RATE EQUATIONS HAVING n = 0 ARE ZERO ORDER REACTIONS. THOSE WITH n = 1 ARE FIRST ORDER AND THOSE WITH n = 2 ARE SECOND ORDER.
• IN ZERO ORDER REACTIONS, CHANGING THE CONCENTRATION OF THE REACTANT HAS NO EFFECT ON THE RATE.
• IN FIRST ORDER REACTIONS, RATE CHANGES ONE FOR ONE WITH CONCENTRATION CHANGE. FOR EXAMPLE, DOUBLING CONCENTRATION DOUBLES THE RATE.
HOW CONCENTRATION EFFECTS REACTION RATES (REACTON ORDER)
• IN SECOND ORDER REACTIONS, RATE CHANGES RELATIVE TO THE SQUARE OF THE CONCENTRATION CHANGE. FOR EXAMPLE, DOUBLING THE CONCENTRATION OF THE REACTANT RESULTS IN THE RATE INCREASING 4 TIMES.
• THIS KNOWLEDGE OF HOW RATE CHANGES WITH CONCENTRATION DEPENDING ON THE ORDER LETS US FIND REACTION ORDERS BY AN EXPERIMENTAL PROCESS CALLED “METHOD OF INITIAL RATES”
• REACTION ORDERS MUST BE DETERMINED EXPERIMENTALLY. THEY CAN NEVER BE DETERMINED FROM THE CHEMICAL EQUATION.

HOW CONCENTRATION EFFECTS REACTION RATES (INITIAL RATES)
• USING THE METHOD OF INITIAL RATES REQUIRES THAT A REACTION BE RUN AT SERIES OF DIFFERENT STARTING CONCENTRATIONS AND THE RATE BE DETERMINED FOR EACH.
• GIVEN THE FOLLOWING DATA FOR THE REACTION A B + C(TABLE 1)• EXPT [A] RATE (M/SEC) 1 1 x 10 -3 4 x 10 -1
2 2 x 10 -3 8 x 10 -1
3 4 x 10 -3 16 x 10 -1
• AS CONCENTRATION OF A DOUBLES, RATE DOUBLES. THE REACTION IS FIRST ORDER IN REACTANT A
• RATE = k[A]1 OR RATE = k[A]
HOW CONCENTRATION EFFECTS REACTION RATES (INITIAL RATES)
• FOR THE REACTION: A + B C + D• (TABLE 2) 1 1 x 10 -3 1 x 10 –3 4 x 10 -1
2 2 x 10 -3 1 x 10 -3 8 x 10 -1
3 1 x 10 -3 2 x 10 -3 16 x 10 –1
• USING EXPT 1 AND 2, [A] DOUBLES AND [B] IS CONSTANT. THE DOUBLING OF THE RATE IS THEREFORE CAUSED BY REACTANT A AND THE ORDER WITH RESPECT TO A IS FIRST.
• USING EXPT 1 AND 3, [A] IS CONSTANT AND [B] IS DOUBLED. THE FOUR TIMES RATE INCREASE IS THEREFORE CAUSED BY REACTANT B AND THE ORDER WITH RESPECT TO B IS SECOND.
• RATE = k[A]1[B]2 OR RATE = k[A][B]2
HOW CONCENTRATION EFFECTS REACTION RATES (RATE CONSTANTS)
• FROM INITIAL RATES DATA TABLE 1,
• RATE = k [A] , k CAN BE CALCULATED BY SUBSTITUTING ANY DATA SERIES INTO THE RATE EQUATION, FOR EXAMPLE, FROM EXPT 1 ON TABLE 1
• [A] = 1 x 10 –3 M , RATE = 4 x 10 –1 M/SEC• 4 x 10 –1 M/SEC = k (1 x 10 –3 M ) • k = 1 x 102 SEC-1 OR 1 x 102 / SEC
HOW CONCENTRATION EFFECTS REACTION RATES (RATE CONSTANTS)
• FROM INITIAL RATES DATA TABLE 2,
• RATE = k [A] x [B]2, k CAN BE CALCULATED BY SUBSTITUTING ANY DATA SERIES INTO THE RATE EQUATION, FOR EXAMPLE, FROM EXPT 1 ON TABLE 2
• [A] = 1 x 10 –3 M , [B] = 1 x 10 –3 M
• RATE = 4 x 10 –1 M/SEC
• 4 x 10 –1 M/SEC = k (1 x 10 –3 M ) x (1 x 10 –3 M )2
• k = 4 x 105 M-1 SEC-1 OR 4 x 105 / M x SEC
Let us see how the initial rates method works
2N2O3(g) 2NO2(g) + O2(g)
The general rate law equation for this reaction is:
Rate = k [N2O3]m
To determine the value of m, a chemist performs three
experiments. A different initial concentration of [N2O35]0
Is used for each experiment. The 0 represents t=0
Experiment Initial [N2O3]0 (mol/L) Initial rate (mol/(L.s))
1 0.010 4.8 x 10 -6
2 0.020 9.6 x 10 -6
3 0.030 1.5 x 10-5
Value of m can be determined with at least two different methods
by inspection rate law equation
1. By inspection
When the [N2O5] is doubled expts 1 and 2 doubles
the rate also doubles
when [N2O5] is tripled, (expts 1 and 3) the rate triples
this indicates a first-order relationship as follows
Rate = k [N2O5]1
2. Compare rate law equation using ratiosthis method very useful when relation between conc and rate are not
immediately obvious from data
Write the rate expressions for expts 1 and 2 as follows:
Rate1 = k [0.010]m
= 4.8 x 10-6 mol/(L.s)
Rate2 = k [0.020]m
= 9.6 x 10-6 mol/(L.s)
Create a ratio to compare the two rates
Rate1 = k(0.010 mol/L)m = 4.8 x 10-6 mol/L.s
Rate 2 k(0.020 mol/L)m 9.6 x 10-6 mol/L.s
Since k is a constant at constant temp you can cancel out
k(0.010 mol/L)m = 4.8 x 10-6 mol/L.s k(0.020 mol/L)m 9.6 x 10-6 mol/L.s
(0.5)m = 0.5 m = 1 (by inspection)
Determining the Rate Constant
Once you know the rate law equation for a reaction,
you can calculate the rate constant using results from
any of the experiments
Rate = k [N2O5]1
You can use data from any of the three experiments to
calculate k
4.8 x 10-6 mol/(L.s) = k(0.010 mol/L)
k = 4.8 x 10-6 mol/ (L.s) 0.010 mol/L
= 4.8 x 10-4 s-1
TEMPERATURE & REACTION RATE• AT ANY TEMPERATURE THE MOLECULES IN A SYSTEM HAVE A
DISTRIBUTION OF KINETIC ENERGIES (SIMILAR TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE SPEEDS OF CARS ON A HIGHWAY).
• AS THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES, THE AVERAGE KINETIC ENERGY OF THE MOLECULES INCREASE (THEY MOVE FASTER AT HIGHER TEMPERATURES) AND THEREFORE COLLIDE WITH EACHOTHER MORE FREQUENTLY AND HIT HARDER WHEN THEY DO COLLIDE.
• AS A RESULT, REACTION RATE INCREASES WITH TEMPERATURE.

• IN ORDER TO REACT, MOLECULES MUST COLLIDE WITH SUFFICIENT ENERGY. THIS MININIUM ENERGY FOR REACTION IS CALLED ACTIVATION ENERGY.
• AS THE TEMPERATURE OF A SYSTEM IS INCREASED, THE NUMBER OF MOLECULES WITH THE NECESSARY ENERGY FOR REACTION (THE ACTIVATION ENERGY) INCREASES.

The Effect of Surface Area on Reaction Rate
Which will cook faster?
One 60g whole potato…
…or 60g of small potato
pieces?
The small potato pieces…
Why do they cook faster?
Because if you compare a 60g potato with 60g of small potato pieces, the small potato pieces
have a LARGER SURFACE AREA
So what?
• The larger the surface area, the more collisions that can happen between the boiling water and the potato at the same time
• This means the potato cooks faster
SURFACE AREA & REACTION RATE
REACTANT THAT IS INTERIOR CANNOT BE ATTACKED UNTIL THE EXTERIOR REACTANT IS CONSUMED. THE REACTION RATE IS SLOW!
SURFACE AREA & REACTION RATE
WHEN SURFACE AREA IS INCREASED MORE REACTANTS ARE EXPOSEDTO EACHOTHER SIMULTANEOUSLY AND THE REACTION IS RAPID.
REACTION MECHANISMS• ALL REACTIONS, NO MATTER HOW SIMPLE FOLLOW A PARTICULAR
REACTION PATHWAY CALLED A MECHANISM. IT IS A SERIES OF STEPS WHICH LEAD TO THE FORMATION OF PRODUCTS.
• DURING THE PROCESS OFTEN MOLECULES CALLED INTERMEDIATES ARE FORMED AND SUBSEQUENTLY CONSUMED.
• THE SLOWEST STEP IN THE SERIES OF STEPS THAT MAKE UP THE MECHANISM IS CALLED THE RATE DETERMINING STEP.
• THE SPEED OF THE RATE DETERMINING STEP DEPENDS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE STEP (NUMBER OF MOLECULES INVOLVED CALLED THE MOLECULARITY) AND THE BOND STRENGTHS OF THE REACTING COMPONENTS

REACTION MECHANISMS• UNLIKE OVERALL REACTIONS, THE REACTON ORDERS FOR
THE STEPS IN A MECHANISM ARE BASED ON THE NUMBER OF MOLECULES REACTING IN THAT STEP.
IN THE REACTION MECHANISM FOR:2 NO + O2 2 NO2
STEP I 2 NO N2O2 (fast)STEP II N2O2 + O2 2 NO2 (slow)
SINCE THERE IS ONLY ONE N2O2 AND ONE O2 IN THE RATE DETERMING STEP (THE SLOW STEP), THE RATE EQUATION FOR THE REACTION IS:
RATE = k [N2O2] x [O2]
THE REACTION IS FIRST ORDER IN BOTH REACTANTS
