Why the difference? Is it the enthalpy change (Heat of combustion) ? Paraffin wax 42 MJ kg-1 Petrol 45 MJ kg-1 Is it the temperature?

Approximately how long will a 2 litre pool of petrol burn for? Important values: Petrol density = 0.8 kg litre-1 Heat of combustion is 45 MJ kg-1 2 litres of petrol has a mass of 1.6 kg (from the density) Total energy available from 1.6 kg petrol = 1.6 kg x 45 MJ kg-1 = 72 MJ 2 litre petrol pool is a 1 MW fire (this is a measured value) 1 MW = 1 MJ s-1 so at this rate it would take 72 s This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License

2 litre petrol bomb takes about 10s to burn 2 litre petrol bomb takes about 10s to burn. What is the rate of heat release? 72 MJ in 10 s = 7.2 MW 2 litre petrol fully evaporated takes about 1 s to burn. What is the rate of heat release? 72 MJ in 1s = 72 MW Conclusion: Same total energy available but released at a faster rate This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License

Calculating Rate of Reaction The gradient of tangent to the curve is the rate of reaction What happens to the reaction rate with time?

Graph is a straight line through the origin The two variables have a linear mathematical relationship We can say: Rate of Reaction is directly proportional to Hydrogen Peroxide concentration Easy to predict what happens to reaction when [H2O2] is changed [H2O2] x2 Rate x 2 First Order with respect to H2O2 k is the rate constant; first order reaction has units of s-1 when the rate of reaction is measured in mol dm-3 s-1. Show this by rearranging the rate equation and why are the units of rate important.

Summary Decomposition of H2O2 can be followed by measuring the decrease in H2O2 concentration or the volume of O2 evolved. Rate of reaction can be calculated from the progress curve at different times or initial rate measurements. Plots of rate as a function of reagent concentration can be used to determine the mathematical relationship Order of reaction can be determined Rate equation can be written This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License

Collision theory Molecules have to collide if they are to react – increasing frequency of collisions? Increasing concentration increases the frequency of collisions Increasing pressure increases frequency of collisions Increasing temperature increases frequency of collision But not just about rate of collisions – how do we explain slow reactions?

Activation Energy (Enthalpy) Ea Energy of the collision must be above a certain value for reactants to react Why? Energy is needed to break bonds (remember bond enthalpies) This then creates reactive species to make new bonds The minimum energy required for a collision to result in chemical reaction is Ea This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License

Back to petrol Petrol vapour reacts with oxygen (air) But not spontaneous at room temperature Needs ignition. What does ignition do? Provides energy to break bonds (endothermic) Creates reactive species (free radicals) Self-sustaining (can remove ignition source and it carries on). Why???? Energy released from the reaction breaks more bonds and the reaction continues This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License

Rate equations and Temperature The Arrhenius equation k is the rate constant; A is the pre-exponential factor; Ea is the activation energy; R is the molar gas constant (8.314 J mol-1 K-1); T is the absolute temperature (Kelvin).

It might be easier to do this increase temperature increase k increase rate decrease Ea increase k increase rate This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License
