7. Mullis 7 Finding k given time and concentration Create a graph with time on x-axis. Plot each vs. time to determine the graph that gives the best line: – [A] – ln[A] – 1/[A] – (Use LinReg and find the r value closest to 1) – k is detemined by the slope of best line (“a” in the linear regression equation on TI-83) – 1 st order (ln[A] vs. t): k is –slope – 2 nd order (1/[A] vs t: k is slope)

8. Mullis 8 Rate Law Expression As concentrations of reactants change at constant temperature, the rate of reaction changes. According to this expression. Rate = k[A] x [B] y … Where k is an experimentally determined rate constant, [ ] is concentration of product and x and y are orders related to the concentration of A and B, respectively. These are determined by looking at measured rate values to determine the order of the reaction.

Mullis 9 Finding Order of a Reactant - Example 2ClO 2 + 2OH -  ClO 3 - + ClO 2 - + H 2 O Start with a table of experimental values: To find effect of [OH - ] compare change in rate to change in concentration. When [OH - ] doubles, rate doubles. Order is the power: 2 x = 2. x is 1. This is 1 st order for [OH - ].

When [ClO 2 ] triples, rate increases 9 times. Order is the power: 3 y = 9. y is 2. This is 2nd order for [ClO 2 ]. [ClO 2 ] (M)[OH - ] (M)Rate (mol/L-s -1 ) 0.0100.0306.00x10 -4 0.0100.0601.20x10 -3 0.0300.0601.08x10 -2 3x 9x

This is useful when there are not constant concentrations of one or more reactants. This example assumes you found that reaction is first order for [OH - ]. 6.00 x 10 -4 =k(0.010) x (.030) 1 1.08 x 10 -2 = k (0.030) x (.060) 1 0.0556 =.333 x (.5) For [ClO 2 ]x, x = 2 [ClO 2 ] (M)[OH - ] (M)Rate (mol/L-s -1 ) 0.0100.0306.00x10 -4 0.0100.0601.20x10 -3 0.0300.0601.08x10 -2

12. Mullis 12 Rate Law: 2ClO 2 + 2OH -  ClO 3 - + ClO 2 - + H 2 O Rate = k[ClO 2 ] 2 [OH - ] To find k, substitute in any one set of experimental data from the table. For example, using the first row: k = rate/[ClO 2 ] 2 [OH - ] k = 6.00x10 -4 Ms -1 = 200 M -2 s -1 [0.010M] 2 [0.030M] Overall reaction order is 2+1=3. Note units of k.

19. Mullis 19 The Arrhenius Equation and Finding E a k=Ae -Ea/RT Where A is the frequency factor – Related to frequency of collisions and favorable orientation of collisions E a is activation energy in J R = 8.314 J/mol-K T is temp in K k is the rate constant

20. Mullis 20 Using the Arrhenius equation As E a increases, rate decreases. – Fewer molecules have the needed energy to react. As temp increases, rate increases – More collisions occur and increased kinetic energy means more collisions have enough energy to react. – Mathematically, T is in denominator of the power –E a /T. ln k = -E a + lnA T

21. Mullis 21 Activation Energy: Energy vs. Reaction Progress E a is lowered with the addition of a catalyst. Peak is where collisions of reactants have achieved enough energy to react The arrangement of atoms at the peak is activated complex or the transition state.

22. Mullis 22 Temperature effects on a reaction Two factors account for increased rate of reaction. 1. Energy factor: When enough energy is in collision for formation of activation complex, bonds break to begin reaction. With higher temp, more collisions have this energy. 2. Frequency of collision: Particles move faster and collide more frequently with higher temp, increasing chance of reaction. Increasing temperature increases the rate of a reaction more if the reaction is endothermic to start with. K increases according to k=Ae -Ea/RT

24. Mullis 24 Mechanisms: Multistep Reactions The following reaction occurs in a single step. CH 3 Br (aq) + OH - (aq)  CH 3 OH (aq) + Br - (aq) – Rate = k(CH 3 Br)(OH - ) This one occurs in several steps: (CH 3 ) 3 CBr(aq) + OH - (aq)  (CH 3 ) 3 COH (aq) + Br - (aq) 1. (CH 3 ) 3 CBr  (CH 3 ) 3 C + + Br - Slow step 2. (CH 3 ) 3 C + + H 2 O  (CH 3 )COH 2+ Fast step 3. (CH 3 ) 3 COH 2+ + OH -  (CH 3 ) 3 COH + H 2 O Fast step – Rate = k((CH 3 ) 3 CBr)

25. Mullis 25 Mechanisms: Multistep Reactions The overall rate of reaction is more or less equal to the rate of the slowest step. (rate-limiting step) If only one reagent is involved in the rate-limiting step, the overall rate of reaction is proportional to the concentration of only this reagent. Ex. For the reaction with Rate = k((CH 3 ) 3 CBr) Although the reaction consumes both (CH 3 ) 3 CBr and OH-, the rate of the reaction is only proportional to the concentration of (CH 3 ) 3 CBr. The rate laws for chemical reactions can be explained by the following general rules. – The rate of any step in a reaction is directly proportional to the concentrations of the reagents consumed in that step. – The overall rate law for a reaction is determined by the sequence of steps, or the mechanism, by which the reactants are converted into the products of the reaction. – The overall rate law for a reaction is dominated by the rate law for the slowest step in the reaction. http://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/genchem/topicreview/bp/ch22/rateframe.html

26. Mullis 26 Substituting for an Intermediate Step 1 : N 2 H 2 O 2  N 2 HO 2- + H + fast equilibrium Step 2: N 2 HO 2-  N 2 O + OH - slow Step 3: H + + OH -  H 2 Ofast Requirement: A fast equilibrium prior to the rate determining (slow) step that contains the intermediate for which you wish to substitute. 1. N 2 H 2 O 2  N 2 HO 2- + H + fast equilibrium 2. For the fast equilibrium, write the rate law (leaving out the k and R) for the reactants and set it equal to the rate law for the products. This can be done because in an equilibrium reaction the forward rate must be equal to the reverse rate. [N 2 H 2 O 2 ] = [N 2 HO 2- ] [H + ] 3. Algebraically solve for the intermediate, N 2 HO 2- [N 2 H 2 O 2 ] / [H + ] = [N 2 HO 2- ] 4. Algebraically substitute into the rate law for N 2 HO 2- Rate law with intermediate is: R = k [N 2 HO 2- ], so R = k [N 2 H 2 O 2 ] / [H + ]
