  1. Reaction Kinetics The rate at which a reaction occurs

  2. Kinetic Energy • Related to molecular speed • KE= ½ mv2 • Higher velocity (faster)= higher energy

  3. Reaction Rate • The rate of reaction tells the speed at which the reaction takes place

  4. Collision Theory • Collision Theory states that atoms, ions, and molecules must collide in order to react

  5. Collision Theory • Not every collision between atoms and molecules results in a reaction! • 1. Orientation is critical! • 2. They must collide with sufficient energy (the activation energy)

  6. CO (g) + NO2 (g)  CO2 (g) + NO (g)

  7. Collision Theory • Any change that increases the number of collisions should increase the reaction rate

  8. Factors in reaction rates…

  9. 1. Nature of the reactants • What are their tendencies towards bond formation? • Cs + H2O -----> CsOH + H2 • Instantaneous • Cs  very reactive(low IE, EN) • Fe + H2O -----> Fe2O3+ H2 • very slow

  10. 2. The ability of the reactants to meet (collide) • Reactions usually occur in liquid, gas, or aqueous phase • Related to surface area • Higher surface area means faster reaction in heterogeneous reactions • Reactions only occur at phase interface

  11. 3. Concentration of the reactants • Often listed as molarity (mol/L) • Written as square brackets [ ] • The moalrity (concentration) of HBr= [HBr] • More reactants = more collisions • More collisions = increases reaction rate

  12. 4. Temperature • Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy • Higher T means higher KE • Faster moving molecules means more collisions • More collisions means a faster reaction rate

  13. 4. Temperature

  14. 5. Catalyst • Increases the reaction rate without being consumed in the process • Lower the energy needed to react (Ea)

  15. 5. Catalyst • Lower activation energy means more collisions between particles have sufficient energy to react.

  16. 5. Catalyst • A heterogeneous catalyst exists in a physical state different than that of the reaction it catalyzes. • A homogeneous catalyst exists in the same physical state as the reaction it catalyzes. • A reforming catalyst is consumed in the reaction, but then re-made • An enzyme is a biologically active catalyst • An inhibitor slows down a reaction by increasing the activation energy

  17. To review…. • Nature of the reactants • The ability of the reactants to collide • The concentration of the reactants • The temperature • Catalysts

  18. Now with numbers…

  19. Measuring rates • A rate is something per unit of time • interest rate = $ earned / time • speed = distance traveled/ time • pay = dollars / hour

  20. Measuring reaction rates • as the reaction proceeds, the reactants are “used up” • [reactants] goes down • [products] goes up • Reaction rate is measured as : • Δconcentration /Δtime • •(mol/L)/s, M/s, or mol L-1s-1

  21. Graphing ΔM

  22. Coefficients and Rates • The coefficients of a chemical equation give us some insight as to the relative rates of consumption of reactants and production of products, but not “absolute” amounts.

  23. 2A + B  3C + 2D • It takes 2 A’s for every single B that reacts, so A is “disappearing” twice as fast as B is

  24. 2A + B  3C + 2D • There are 2 D’s produced for every B and every 2 A’s that are “consumed”, so D is appearing at the same rate A is disappearing and twice as fast as B is disappearing

  25. 2A + B  3C + 2D • C is being produced 3 times faster than B is being used up, and 3/2 times faster that A is being used up

  26. Rate Law • A Rate Lawis an equation that describes how a change in concentration affects the reaction rate. • for the reaction A + B products • The rate law would be: • rate = k[A]m[B]n

  27. Rate Law rate = k[A]m[B]n k= the rate constant depends on the temperature, different for each reaction m= the “order of reaction” with respect to A n= the “order of reaction” with respect to B

  28. Rate Law rate = k[A]m[B]n • m and n have to be experimentally determined; they are not the same as the reaction coefficients except by coincidence.
