1. Reaction Rates
Chapter 19-1

2. 19.1
Collision Theory
In chemistry, the rate of chemical change, or the reaction rate, is usually expressed as the amount of reactant changing per unit time.

3. 19.1
Collision Theory
A rate is a measure of the speed of any change that occurs within an interval of time.
Speed is measured as a change in distance in a given interval of time. A world-class sprinter might cover 100 meters in 11.5 seconds; the speed, or rate, is 100 m/11.5 s = 8.70 m/s.

4. 19.1
Collision Theory
Rates of chemical reactions are often measured as a change in the number of moles during an interval of time.
As time passes, the amount of reactant (red squares) decreases and the amount of product (blue spheres) increases. Rates of chemical reactions are often measured as a change in the number of moles during an interval of time. Interpreting Diagrams Assuming equal time intervals between the boxes, how can you tell that the rate of conversion of reactant to product is not constant throughout this reaction?

5. 19.1
Collision Theory
According to collision theory, atoms, ions, and molecules can react to form products when they collide with one another, provided that the colliding particles have enough kinetic energy.

6. Effective Collision 19.1 Collision Theory
If colliding particles have enough kinetic energy and collide at the right orientation, they can react to form a new product. a) An effective collision of reactant molecules produces product molecules. b) An ineffective collision of reactant molecules produces no reaction, and the reactants bounce apart unchanged.

7. Ineffective Collision
19.1
Collision Theory
Ineffective Collision
If colliding particles have enough kinetic energy and collide at the right orientation, they can react to form a new product. a) An effective collision of reactant molecules produces product molecules. b) An ineffective collision of reactant molecules produces no reaction, and the reactants bounce apart unchanged.

8. 19.1
Collision Theory
The minimum energy that colliding particles must have in order to react is called the activation energy.
The activation-energy barrier must be crossed before reactants are converted to products. INTERPRETING GRAPHS a. Navigate Which are at a higher energy, the reactants or products? b. Read Is energy absorbed or released in progressing from the reactants to the activated complex? c. Interpret Once the activated complex is formed, will it always proceed to form products? Explain.

9. The activated complex is sometimes called the transition state.
19.1
Collision Theory
An activated complex is an unstable arrangement of atoms that forms momentarily at the peak of the activation-energy barrier.
The activated complex is sometimes called the transition state.
