Reaction rates
Concerned with why some reactions are fast and others are slow.
A reaction rate is quantitatively written as either:Change in concentration of a reactant/time Change in concentration of a product/timeUnits may vary. Some examples are:
Molarity/hour, nmol/sec.

Factors which influence a reaction rate. Internal factors
More bond breaking and bond making, slower the reaction. Each bond broken or made adds a step to the overall reaction.
The physical state ( s,l,aq,or g) in the reactants: solids can slow down a reaction. Gases are faster. (Slow: s,l, aq,g: fast)
Example: CH4(g) + 2O2(g) 2H2O(g) + CO2(g)
C8H18(l) + 25/2 O2(g) 8CO2(g) + 9H2O(g)

Factors which influence a reaction rate continued
External FactorsTemperature: Increasing a temp. will increase a
rate because: K.E. increases so the velocity of the molecules increases. Therefore, the molecules collide with more force and more often, so there are more successful collisions. A change in temp. has more impact on the rate of a reaction, more than any other factor.

External factors continued
Concentration- increasing the concentration of a reactant will increase the rate of a reaction because there will be more collisions/time. Applies to gases and aq solutions.
Pressure-increasing the pressure will increase the rate of a reaction if there are any gaseous reactants only. The increased pressure increases the collisions/time. Applies to gases.
Surface area- increasing the surface area will increase the rate of a reaction only if there are any liquid or solid reactants. The increase in surface area increases the collisions/time. Applies to solids and liquids.

A quantitative look at a reaction rate. A rate is the Δ concentration/time The change in concentration can be for any reactant
or product. Just pick the easiest species to measure. Example: determining the rate of H2 gas produced by
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Measure the volume of the H2 at regular time intervals .(use a gas law to turn the vol. into a conc. )
Plot the volumes or concentrations on a graph with time as x axis, and volume and concentration as y.
![Page 10: Kinetics. Reaction rates Concerned with why some reactions are fast and others are slow. A reaction rate is quantitatively written as either: Change in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/55142f8e550346e7488b5ece/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Take the slope of the line early in the reaction: the Δy/ Δx. This equals the change in volume or concentration over time which is a rate.
This rate changes at any point on the graph since the slope is not constant.
The rate obtained through this method is an instantaneous rate-accurate at that point in time.
Since rates change during a reaction the rate law of the reaction is more useful.

Reaction mechanisms
A reaction mechanism is the series of steps that occur in order for a reaction to reach completion.
The mechanism must be determined experimentally.
Restrictions to a reaction mechanism are: Each step in the mechanism usually involves a collision
between 2 molecules or the splitting of one molecule The individual steps must add up to the overall final
reaction. The mechanism must support the rate law.
![Page 13: Kinetics. Reaction rates Concerned with why some reactions are fast and others are slow. A reaction rate is quantitatively written as either: Change in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/55142f8e550346e7488b5ece/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The individual steps must add up to equal the overall reaction. The reaction:
AB + CD AC + BD AB A + B B + CD C +BD A + C AC
AB + CD AC + BD
![Page 14: Kinetics. Reaction rates Concerned with why some reactions are fast and others are slow. A reaction rate is quantitatively written as either: Change in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/55142f8e550346e7488b5ece/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Each step usually involves the collision between 2 molecules only example reaction is: HBr + CH3CH2OH CH3CH2Br + H2O
![Page 15: Kinetics. Reaction rates Concerned with why some reactions are fast and others are slow. A reaction rate is quantitatively written as either: Change in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/55142f8e550346e7488b5ece/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Reaction mechanisms: the slow step (rate determining step) The slow step or rate determining step is the step in
the reaction mechanism which is the slowest. It is the slowest for these possible reasons: It has the highest energy requirement for a successful
collision. (The bond being broken has a high bond enthalpy). This energy requirement is called the Activation energy. The molecule formed during this step is called the activated complex.
There may be a special angle of orientation for a successful collision.

Catalysts
A catalyst is a substance which can speed up an existing reaction. A catalyst works by:Speeding up the slow step in the reaction
mechanism through: Lowering the activation energy required for a
successful collision. Widening the angle of orientation required for a
successful collision.

Catalysts continued.
Catalysts do not:Cause a reaction. They only speed up
existing ones.Change either the reactants or products, or
the enthalpy for a reaction.Get used up. They are recycled and used
over again.

Rate LawsIB optional material
General information:A rate law is constant for a reaction unless the
temperature is changed.A rate law uses only reactants.A rate law is determined using the initial
concentrations of reactants.A rate law helps explain a reaction mechanism.
If we know the rate law we have a better understanding on how to control the reaction.
![Page 26: Kinetics. Reaction rates Concerned with why some reactions are fast and others are slow. A reaction rate is quantitatively written as either: Change in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/55142f8e550346e7488b5ece/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Rate laws continued.
The general form of a rate law is:Given the reaction: 2A + B A2BThe rate law expression will look like:
rate = k[A]n[B]m
k is a rate constantn and m are rate ordersBoth of the above are determined experimentally.Coefficients are not used in the expression

Summary of rate orders
Zero order [x]0 altering the concentration of the reactant has no effect on the rate.
First order [x]1 doubling the concentration of the reactant will double the rate, cutting the concentration in half will cut the rate in half etc.
Second order [x]2 doubling the concentration will quadruple the rate. Cutting in1/2 the concentration will cut the rate to ¼ etc.
Overall rate order: add the rate orders together.
![Page 29: Kinetics. Reaction rates Concerned with why some reactions are fast and others are slow. A reaction rate is quantitatively written as either: Change in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/55142f8e550346e7488b5ece/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Half-life of first-order reactants
A half-life is the time it takes for the concentration of a reactant (1st order) to decrease to half of its original concentration. In the 2nd half-life interval, the concentration will be cut in half again to 1/4th its original concentration. So the change in concentration is continually being cut in half with each successive half-life.
![Page 30: Kinetics. Reaction rates Concerned with why some reactions are fast and others are slow. A reaction rate is quantitatively written as either: Change in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/55142f8e550346e7488b5ece/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Determining the half-life.
First method: make a rate graph using concentration over time. From the graph determine where the concentration is cut in half.This time interval is the half-life. This half-life is constant. t1/2= 2t1/2=3t1/2=4t1/2 For a zero order: each half-life is half the time of the preceding
half-life. ex. T1/2=1min. 2t1/2 = 0.5min., 3t1/2= 0.25min. For 2nd order: each half-life is double the preceding half-life.
ex. T1/2= 1min. 2t1/2= 2min., 3t1/2= 4min.,
Second method: use t1/2 = ln2 / k ln 2 = 0.693, k= the rate constant for the reaction.

Reaction mechanisms: Molecularityoptional IB materialThere are two basic types of steps or processes in a mechanism:
1. unimolecular: A reactant breaks up into two products. If the species is in the r.d.s. then the reacting species is first order.2.bimolecular: two species collide to form the product(s). It they are in the slow step then each reacting species is first order, and 2nd order over all.
There is initially a product made which quickly breaks down into either reactants or products. This temporary product is called the activated complex and has the maximum energy requirement, ie, activation energy, for a successful collision.
Whether a reaction step is unimolecular or bimolecular is called the step’s molecularity.
![Page 33: Kinetics. Reaction rates Concerned with why some reactions are fast and others are slow. A reaction rate is quantitatively written as either: Change in.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062618/55142f8e550346e7488b5ece/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Molecularity continued
These molecularity concepts along with the rate law are used to determine the rate determining step for a reaction.
Any reactant in the rate determining step or in the step preceding the r.d.s. determines the overall rate of the reaction. So it is in the rate law
Knowing the rate law expression for the reaction can help to predict the process or molecularity in the r.d.s.
