  3. Chemical Kinetics • Thermochemistry = does a reaction take place? • Kinetics = how fast does the reaction happen? • Kinetics: The area of chemistry concerned with the speeds (rates) of reactions

  4. Factors Affecting Reaction Rates • Physical state of reactants (surface area) • Concentration of reactants • Temperature at which reaction occurs • Presence of a catalyst • Pressure of gaseous reactants or products

  5. Molecules must collide to react Only a small fraction of collisions produces a reaction. Why? Collision Model

  6. Collision Model • Collisions must have enough energy to produce the reaction (must equal or exceed the activation energy). • Reactants must have proper orientation to allow the formation of new bonds.

  7. Collision Model

  8. Activation Energy • Activation Energy (Ea)– minimum energy required to transform reactants into the activated complex • (The minimum energy required to produce an effective collision) • Example: flame, spark, high temperature, radiation • The lower the Ea, the faster the reaction

  9. Activation Energy • Activated Complex – transitional structure • All bonds have been broken but no new bonds have formed • Point in reaction of highest energy but lowest stability

  10. Exothermic Processes Processes in which energy is released as it proceeds, and surroundings become warmer Reactants  Products + energy

  11. Endothermic Processes Processes in which energy is absorbed as it proceeds, and surroundings become colder Reactants + energy  Products

  12. Energy of Reactions (∆E) • Same as ∆H • “Heat” and “energy” can be used interchangeably • ∆E = ∆Eproducts- ∆Ereactants • - ∆E = exothermic (energy lost) • +∆E = endothermic (energy gained)

  13. A B rate = D[A] D[B] rate = - Dt Dt Reaction Rate Reaction Rate: the change in concentration of reactants per unit time as a reaction proceeds (M/s) D[A] = change in concentration of A over time period Dt D[B] = change in concentration of B over time period Dt Because [A] decreases with time, D[A] is negative.

  14. A B time rate = D[A] D[B] rate = - Dt Dt 13.1

  15. Reaction Rate • Average reaction rate: average rate throughout the course of the reaction • Instantaneous reaction rate: rate of reaction at a specific point in time during the reaction • Think of a car trip where you drove 100 miles in 2 hours • Average speed = 50 mi/hr • Instantaneous speed is speed at specific point – you don’t go exactly 50 mi/hr the entire trip

  16. Br2(aq) + HCOOH (aq) 2Br-(aq) + 2H+(aq) + CO2(g) slope of tangent slope of tangent slope of tangent [Br2]final – [Br2]initial D[Br2] average rate= - = - Dt tfinal - tinitial instantaneous rate= rate for specific instance in time (slope of tangent)

  17. Kinetics Stoichiometry • When mole ratios are not 1:1, stoichiometry is used to compare rates of reactions aA + bB  cC + dD Rate = - = - = = 1 ∆[A] a ∆t 1 ∆[B] b ∆t 1 ∆[C] c ∆t 1 ∆[D] d ∆t

  18. Kinetics Stoichiometry 2HI  H2 + I2 If the rate at which H2 appears, ∆[H2]/∆t, is 6.0×10-5 M/s at a particular instant, at what rate is HI disappearing at this same time, - ∆[HI]/∆t? Rate = - = Therefore, - = (6.0×10-5 M/s ) - = 1.2×10-4 M/s 1 ∆[HI] 2 ∆t 1 ∆[H2] 1 ∆t 1 1 1 ∆[HI] 2 ∆t ∆[HI] ∆t

  19. Reaction Rate and Concentration • The initial rate of a reaction depends on the concentration of the reactants • Rate changes based on the concentration of reactants • (Differential) Rate Law: an equation that relates reaction rate and concentrations of reactants Rate a[reactants] ameans “proportional to”

  20. Rate Law R = k[A]n[B]m R = reaction rate k= specific rate constant [A] and [B] = concentrations of reactants n and m = the order of the reactant (usually 0, 1, 2) (not related to moles of reactants from the equation) Overall order of reaction = n + m

  21. F2(g) + 2ClO2(g) 2FClO2(g) 1 Rate Laws • Rate laws are always determined experimentally. • Reaction order is always defined in terms of reactant (not product) concentrations. • The order of a reactant is not related to the stoichiometric coefficient of the reactant in the balanced chemical equation. rate = k [F2][ClO2] 13.2

  22. Specific Rate Constant (k) • Once the reaction orders are known, the value of k must be determined from experimental data • Value of k is for a specific reaction; k has a different value for other reactions, even at the same conditions • Units of k depend on the overall order of the reaction • Value of k does not change for different concentrations of reactants or products • Value of k is for reaction at a specific temperature; if temperature increases, k increases • Value of k changes if a catalyst is present

  23. Writing a (differential) Rate Law Problem- Write the rate law, determine the value of the rate constant, k, and the overall order for the following reaction: 2 NO(g) + Cl2(g)  2 NOCl(g)

  24. Writing a Rate Law Step 1 – Determine the values for the exponents in the rate law: R = k[NO]n[Cl2]m In experiment 1 and 2, [Cl2] is constant while [NO] doubles. The rate quadruples, so the reaction is second order with respect to [NO]  R = k[NO]2[Cl2]m

  25. Writing a Rate Law R = k[NO]2[Cl2]m In experiment 2 and 4, [NO] is constant while [Cl2] doubles. The rate doubles, so the reaction is first order with respect to [Cl2]  R = k[NO]2[Cl2]

  26. Writing a Rate Law Part 2 – Determine the value for k, the rate constant, by using any set of experimental data: R = k[NO]2[Cl2]

  27. Reaction Order Given the rate law R = k[NO]2[Cl2] We say that the reaction is • 2nd order with respect to NO • 1st order with respect to Cl2 Overall the order of the reaction is a 3rd order reaction • 2 + 1 = 3

  28. Example 2 What is the order with respect to A? What is the order with respect to B? What is the overall order of the reaction? 0 1 1

  29. Example 3 What is the order with respect to Cl2? What is the order with respect to NO? What is the overall order of the reaction? 1 2 3

  30. Reaction Order

  31. Concentration VS Time • Integrated Rate Law • Graph data to solve for order of reaction Zero Order = time vs concentration is linear 1st Order = time vs ln[concentration] is linear 2nd Order = time vs is linear 1 concentration

  32. Zero Order Reactions 13.3

  33. First Order Reactions 13.3

  34. Second Order Reactions

  35. Solving an Integrated Rate Law Problem: Find the integrated rate law and the value for the rate constant, k

  36. Time vs. [H2O2] Time Regression results: [H2O2] y = ax + b a = -2.64 x 10-4 b = 0.841 r2 = 0.8891 r = -0.9429

  37. Time vs. ln[H2O2] ln[H2O2] Time Regression results: y = ax + b a = -8.35 x 10-4 b = -.005 r2 = 0.99978 r = -0.9999

  38. Time vs. 1/[H2O2] Time 1/[H2O2] Regression results: y = ax + b a = 0.00460 b = -0.847 r2 = 0.8723 r = 0.9340

  39. Integrated Rate Law • The graph is linear for “time vs ln[H2O2]” • The reaction is 1st order VS VS

  40. Concentration VS Time Rate laws for concentration of reactants versus time are based on the linear equation y = ax + b • Zero Order Reactions (time vs concentration) [A] = -kt + [A]0 • 1st Order (time vsln[concentration]) ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]0 • 2nd Order (time vs 1/concentration)

  41. The reaction 2A B is first order in A with a rate constant of 2.8 x 10-2 s-1 at 800C. How long will it take for A to decrease from 0.88 M to 0.14 M ? 0.88 M ln 0.14 M = 2.8 x 10-2 s-1 ln ln[A]0 – ln[A] = k k [A]0 [A] ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]0 [A]0 = 0.88 M ln[A] - ln[A]0 = - kt [A] = 0.14 M ln[A]0 - ln[A] = kt = 66 s t =

  42. Half-life t½ • Time it takes for concentration of reactant to equal ½ of its initial value • A fast reaction will have a short half-life • In a first order reaction, concentration of reactant decreases by ½ each time interval of t½ [A] = ½ [A]0

  43. Half-life t½ • For zero and second order reactions, half-life changes based on concentration of the reactant • To find equation for half-life, place ½[A] 0 in for [A] in each integrated rate law and put t½ in for t When [A] = ½[A]0 and t = t½ … Zero Order: [A] = -kt + [A]0 1st Order ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]0 2nd Order

  44. What is the half-life of N2O5 if it decomposes with a rate constant of 5.7 x 10-4 s-1? t½ 0.693 = 5.7 x 10-4 s-1 Half-life t½ = 1200 s = 20 minutes units of k are (s-1) How do you know decomposition is first order?

  45. Concentration-Time Equation Order Rate Law Half-Life 1 1 - = kt [A] [A]0 = [A]0 t½ = t½ t½ = Ln 2 2k k 1 k[A]0 SUMMARY [A] - [A]0 = - kt rate = k 0 ln[A] - ln[A]0 = - kt 1 rate = k [A] 2 rate = k [A]2

  46. Rate Constant and Temperature • Reaction rate increases with temperature • Molecules move faster • More molecules collide to cause a reaction in a time period • Molecules have greater kinetic energy at higher temperatures • More molecules will have enough energy to reach the activation energy of the reaction at higher temperatures

  47. Boltzmann Distribution Curve

  48. Rate Constant and Temperature • At higher temperatures (T2), more molecules are able to reach the activation energy

  49. Lnk= - + lnA -Ea 1 T R Rate Constant and Temperature • Arrhenius Equation: relationship between k and T Eais the activation energy (J/mol) R is the gas constant (8.314 J/K•mol) T is the absolute temperature (K) A is the frequency factor Takes into account collision frequency and orientation

  50. Graphing Arrhenius • A plot of lnkversus 1 / T produces a straight line with the familiar form y = - mx + b, where x = 1 / T y = lnk m = - E a / R b = lnA • The activation energy E a can be determined from the slope m of this line: E a = - m · R
