Chapter 12 Chemical Kinetics
2
Kinetics Study of Speed at which reactions take place
Effect of each reactant Effect of concentration Mechanisms Reaction process Energy requirements for reactions
3
Reaction Rate Change in concentration of reactant or product per unit of time Rate = Δ[A]/ Δt Rates decrease as time increases Rates are given positive values If you know the rate of one species in a reaction you can calculate the others

2NO2 2NO + O2 Page 558 Based on the graph What do you notice?
Calculate the rate of NO2 0s to 50.s NO2 50.s to 100.s O2 0s to 50.s 2NO2 2NO + O2
5
Rate Laws Only depends on the forward reaction
An expression that shows how the rate depends on the concentrations of reactants A way of determining rate or concentration Depends on what you know.
6
Form of the Rate Law Assuming the reaction A B + C Rate = k[A]n
k and n are both experimentally determined k is a constant called the rate constant Units vary depending on n n is the order Does NOT depend on balanced equation Whole numbers including zero and fractions
7
Units of k Depends on what number n is
k has units that gives the rate units of mol/L*s Consider - Rate = k[A]n What are the units of k if n is 1? 2? 0?
8
Multiple Reactants Consider the reaction A + B C
What is the rate law? Rate = k[A]n[B]m What are the units for k when n is 1 & m is 1
9
Specifically These types of rate laws are differential rate laws
Just called rate laws There are also integrated rate laws The form you use depends on the data you have

Method of Initial Rates
12
Integrated Rate Laws A way of determining the order and rate constant of a reaction when time and concentration data is known. Must be for a single reactant. Or have one in excess Equations for 0th, 1st, and 2nd order Use equations as tests for order
13
1st Order ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]o [A] concentration of reactant at time t
[A]o concentration of reactant at time t=0 k is the rate constant This is the equation of a ________? LINE Y axis is ln[A], X axis is t The slope is the rate constant
14
1st Order If a graph of ln[A] vs t is a straight line then the reaction is 1st order A straight line is the check for all of these
15

16
1st Order Half Life The half life is the time required for a reactant to reach half of its previous concentration Meaning [A] = [A]o/2 Derive Half Life Equation t1/2=ln2/k Half life is always the same for first order kinetics
18
2N2O5 4NO2 + O2 Example Use the data to determine the rate law.

2nd Order Integrated Rate Law 1/[A] = kt + 1/[A]o
This is the equation of a ________? LINE Y axis is 1/[A], X axis is t The slope is the rate constant Half Life t1/2 = 1/(k[A]o) Each half life is double the previous

Reaction Mechanism A series of elementary steps that must satisfy two requirements The sum of the steps must equal the overall balanced equation Must agree with the rate law Elementary Step – Steps in the mechanism. (Think back to organic)

Cont. Intermediates – Species that are produced in one elementary step and consumed in another Not part of the overall balanced equation Rate-determining step – Slowest step in a reaction that determines the rate Molecularity – Number of species that must collide to produce an elementary step

Activation Energy (Ea)
The energy required to convert atoms or molecules into their transition state Minimum energy required for effective collisions Can be found by running the same reaction at different temps. Use Arrhenius Equation
34
Arrhenius Equation K = rate constant Ea = Activation Energy
R = Energy Gas Constant J/mol*K T = Temp in K A = Frequency Factor Equation of a line Y is ln k X is 1/T Slope is –Ea/R
35
Find the activation energy

36
2 Temp. Ea Equation You can manipulate the Arrhenius Equ if you only have to temps and rate constants by subtracting the lower temp equation from the higher temp equation
37
Catalysts Chemical that speeds up a chemical reaction but is not consumed in the reaction Do this by Lowering activation energy Provide alternate reaction pathways Increase effective collisions
