Chemical KineticsChemical Kinetics• Kinetics is the study of how fast chemical reactions
occur.• There are 3 important factors which affect rates of
reactions:– reactant concentration [molarity or pressure]
– temperature
– action of catalysts
• Goal: to understand chemical reactions at the molecular level.

Chemical KineticsChemical KineticsReaction RatesReaction Rates• Speed of a reaction is measured by the change in
concentration with time [brackets means concentration, units of molarity, M]
• For a reaction A B
At the beginning of the reaction (t = 0), let us assume that
[A] = 1.0 M and [B] = 0.
Average rate = change in conc. of B change in time

Reaction ratesReaction rates
The rate for this reaction depends on the time. At beginning of reaction, rate is fast, and the rate slows down as the reaction proceeds.
At any time, the rate is given by either: (a) change in [A] with change in time, or… (b) change in [B] with change in time.
There are two ways of calculating rates: (a) average rate (rough and imprecise) (b) instantaneous rate (more exact)
Average rate = change in conc. of B change in time

Average rate is rate between two time intervals
At t=10 min, [B]=0.26 M; at t=30 min, [B]=0.60 MAverage rate = [B]/ t = (0.60-0.26)/(30-10) = (.34 M / 20 min) = 0.017 M/min

What is rate between 10 min and 30 min?

The instantaneous rate is more precise than the average rate.It is the rate at some specific instance in time; the concept is derived from the calculus.It is the slope of a curve at a specific instance in time. This is obtained by constructing a tangent to the curve at the indicated point.

When do we use (+) and (-) signs for rate?
Slopes for reactants (A) are always negative (-)Slopes for products (B) are always positive (+)But, all rates are positive (+). Therefore….If slope is (-), then Rate = - slope = (-)(-) = +If slope is (+), then Rate = +slope = (+)(+) = +

Reaction Rates and StoichiometryReaction Rates and Stoichiometry• For the reaction: N2 + 3 H2 2 NH3
we can expression reaction rate as:

(c) Δt

(NH3 is a product)
But these rates are not equal!NH3 is produced twice as fast as N2 is reacted. So,

as [NH4+] doubles (with [NO2

so: Rate [NH4+]
Rate = k[NH4+][ NO2

+ and
1st order with respect to NO2- and is
1+1=2 or 2nd order overall
as [NO2-] doubles (with [NH4

so: Rate [NO2-]
We conclude: Rate [NH4+][NO2

drop to half its original value.
• That is, half life, t1/2 is the time taken for [A]0 to reach ½[A]0.

• A plot of [A]t versus t is a straight line with slope -k and intercept [A]0
• Zero-order reactions are used in heterogeneous catalysis reactions, such as gasoline production in refineries and catalytic hydrogenation.• For zero-order reactions, the rate does not change.

Temperature and RateTemperature and Rate
23
Temperature and RateTemperature and Rate• As temperature increases, the rate increases.• Since the rate law has no temperature term in it, the
rate constant must depend on temperature.
Activation EnergyActivation Energy•Arrhenius: molecules must possess a minimum amount of energy to react. Why?
–In order to form products, bonds must be broken in the reactants.
–Bond breakage requires energy.
•Activation energy, Ea, is the minimum energy required
to initiate a chemical reaction.

Temperature and RateTemperature and RateActivation EnergyActivation Energy• The change in energy for the reaction is the difference
in energy between reactants and products.
• The activation energy, Ea , is the difference in energy between reactants and transition state.
• The rate depends on Ea.
• Notice that if a forward reaction is exothermic, then the reverse reaction is endothermic.

Temperature and RateTemperature and RateThe Arrhenius EquationThe Arrhenius Equation• Arrhenius discovered most reaction-rate data obeyed the Arrhenius equation:
• If we have a lot of data, we can determine Ea and A graphically by rearranging the Arrhenius equation:
• If we do not have a lot of data, then we can use
RTaEAek
–Both A and Ea are specific to a given reaction.
–k is the rate constant
–Ea is the activation energy
–R is the gas constant (8.314 J/K-mol)
–T is the temperature in K.
–A is the frequency factor.

Reaction MechanismsReaction Mechanisms• First-order reactions are generally unimolecular, i.e., they depend
only on the spontaneous reaction of one molecule.• Second-order reactions are generally bimolecular, i.e., they depend
upon the collision of one molecule with another to exchange atoms.• Zero-order reactions depend upon a catalytic bottle-neck, such as
catalytic hydrogenation or cracking of petroleum to form gasoline.• Third, or fractional, order reactions are possible and involve very
complex mechanisms.
32
CatalysisCatalysis• A catalyst changes the rate of a chemical reaction, by
lowering the activation energy Ea.

Catalysis - EnzymesCatalysis - EnzymesAn enzyme is a protein molecule, with a specific shape
which catalyzes a specific reaction. The substance undergoing a reaction is called a substrate, which locks into an enzyme, resulting in a fast reaction (“lock and key” model).
