What affects reaction rates? 1. Physical State of the Reactants 2. Concentration of Reactants 3. Temperature 4. Catalysts
![Page 7: CHEMICAL KINETICS CHP 12msmorrischemistry.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/9/5/38951057/big_idea_4... · CHEMICAL KINETICS – CHP 12 Big Idea 4: Rates of chemical reactions are determined](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042308/5ed5668875bf2c1ab11572dd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Factors that Affects Rates: Physical State
• In order to react, molecules must come in contact with each other: • Gases, liquids or solutions react faster than solids.
(Higher pressure and concentration also affects rate.)
• Finely ground substances have more surface areas and react faster than chunk pieces.
• The more homogeneous the mixture of reactants, the faster the molecules can react.

Factors that Affects Rates: Concentration As the concentration of reactants increases, so does the likelihood that reactant molecules will collide.

Factors that Affects Rates: Temperature & Catalysts
• Temperature: At higher temperatures, reactant molecules have more kinetic energy, move faster, and collide more often and with greater energy.
• Catalysts: Speed rxn by changing mechanism.

The best indicator of the rate of a reaction is the instantaneous rate near the beginning. The reaction slows down with time because the concentration of the reactants decreases.

1. Introduction Chemical reaction kinetics deals with the rates of chemical processes. Any chemical process may be broken down into a sequence of one or more single-step processes known either as elementary processes, elementary reactions, or elementary steps. Elementary reactions usually involve either a single reactive collision between two molecules, which we refer to as a a bimolecular step, or dissociation/isomerisation of a single reactant molecule, which we refer to as a unimolecular step. Very rarely, under conditions of extremely high pressure, a termolecular step may occur, which involves simultaneous collision of three reactant molecules. An important point to recognise is that many reactions that are written as a single reaction equation in actual fact consist of a series of elementary steps. This will become extremely important as we learn more about the theory of chemical reaction rates. As a general rule, elementary processes involve a transition between two atomic or molecular states separated by a potential barrier. The potential barrier constitutes the activation energy of the process, and determines the rate at which it occurs. When the barrier is low, the thermal energy of the reactants will generally be high enough to surmount the barrier and move over to products, and the reaction will be fast. However, when the barrier is high, only a few reactants will have sufficient energy, and the reaction will be much slower. The presence of a potential barrier to reaction is also the source of the temperature dependence of reaction rates, which we will cover in more detail in Section 19. The huge variety of chemical species, types of reaction, and the accompanying potential energy surfaces involved means that the timescale over which chemical reactions occur covers many orders of magnitude, from very slow reactions, such as iron rusting, to extremely fast reactions, such as the electron transfer processes involved in many biological systems or the combustion reactions occurring in flames. A study into the kinetics of a chemical reaction is usually carried out with one or both of two main goals in mind: 1. Analysis of the sequence of elementary steps giving rise to the overall reaction. i.e. the reaction mechanism. 2. Determination of the absolute rate of the reaction and/or its individual elementary steps. The aim of this course is to show you how these two goals may be achieved. 2. Rate of reaction When we talk about the rate of a chemical reaction, what we mean is the rate at which reactants are used up, or equivalently the rate at which products are formed. The rate therefore has units of concentration per unit time, mol dm-3 s-1 (for gas phase reactions, alternative units of concentration are often used, usually units of pressure M Torr, mbar or Pa). To measure a reaction rate, we simply need to monitor the concentration of one of the reactants or products as a function of time. There is one slight complication to our definition of the reaction rate so far, which is to do with the stochiometry of the reaction. The stoichiometry simply refers to the number of moles of each reactant and product appearing in the reaction equation. For example, the reaction equation for the well-known Haber process, used industrially to produce ammonia, is: N2 + 3H2 ¾ 2NH3 N2 has a stochiometric coefficient of 1, H2 has a coefficient of 3, and NH3 has a coefficient of 2. We could determine the rate of this reaction in any one of three ways, by monitoring the changing

There is one slight complication to our definition of the reaction rate so far, which is to do with the stochiometry of the reaction. The stoichiometry simply refers to the number of moles of each reactant and product appearing in the reaction equation. For example, the reaction equation for the well-known Haber process, used industrially to produce ammonia, is: N2 + 3H2 ¾ 2NH3 N2 has a stochiometric coefficient of 1, H2 has a coefficient of 3, and NH3 has a coefficient of 2. We could determine the rate of this reaction in any one of three ways, by monitoring the changing

The Collision Model • In a chemical reaction, bonds are broken and
new bonds are formed. • Molecules can only react if they collide with each
other.

Reaction Mechanisms The sequence of events that describes the actual process by which reactants become products is called the reaction mechanism.
• Reactions may occur all at once or through several discrete steps.
• Each of these processes is known as an elementary reaction or elementary process.

Reaction Mechanisms
• The molecularity of a process tells how many molecules are involved in the process.
• The rate law for an elementary step is written directly from that step.
![Page 46: CHEMICAL KINETICS CHP 12msmorrischemistry.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/9/5/38951057/big_idea_4... · CHEMICAL KINETICS – CHP 12 Big Idea 4: Rates of chemical reactions are determined](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042308/5ed5668875bf2c1ab11572dd/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The Collision Model • In a chemical reaction, bonds are broken and new bonds are formed.
• Molecules can only react if they collide with each other with sufficient (activation) energy (Ea).
![Page 47: CHEMICAL KINETICS CHP 12msmorrischemistry.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/9/5/38951057/big_idea_4... · CHEMICAL KINETICS – CHP 12 Big Idea 4: Rates of chemical reactions are determined](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042308/5ed5668875bf2c1ab11572dd/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The Collision Model Furthermore, molecules must collide with the correct orientation and with enough energy to cause bond breakage and formation.

Activation Energy • In other words, there is a minimum amount of
energy required for reaction: the activation energy, Ea.
• Just as a ball cannot get over a hill if it does not roll up the hill with enough energy, a reaction cannot occur unless the molecules possess sufficient energy to get over the activation energy barrier.

Reaction Coordinate Diagrams
• It shows the energy of the reactants and products (and, therefore, ΔE).
• The high point on the diagram is the transition state. • The species present at the transition state is called
the activated complex. • The energy gap between the reactants and the
activated complex is the activation energy barrier.

Maxwell–Boltzmann Distributions • Temperature is defined as a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a sample.
• At any temperature there is a wide distribution of kinetic energies.
![Page 52: CHEMICAL KINETICS CHP 12msmorrischemistry.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/9/5/38951057/big_idea_4... · CHEMICAL KINETICS – CHP 12 Big Idea 4: Rates of chemical reactions are determined](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042308/5ed5668875bf2c1ab11572dd/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Maxwell–Boltzmann Distributions • As the temperature increases, the curve flattens and broadens.
• Thus at higher temperatures, a larger population of molecules has higher energy.
![Page 53: CHEMICAL KINETICS CHP 12msmorrischemistry.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/9/5/38951057/big_idea_4... · CHEMICAL KINETICS – CHP 12 Big Idea 4: Rates of chemical reactions are determined](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042308/5ed5668875bf2c1ab11572dd/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Maxwell–Boltzmann Distributions • If the dotted line represents the activation energy, as the temperature increases, so does the fraction of molecules that can overcome the activation energy barrier.
As a result, the reaction rate
increases.

Arrhenius Equation Svante Arrhenius developed a mathematical relationship between k and Ea:
where A is the frequency factor, a number that represents the likelihood that collisions would occur with the proper orientation for reaction.

Arrhenius Equation Taking the natural logarithm of both sides, the equation becomes
y = mx + b
When k is determined experimentally at several temperatures, Ea can be calculated from the slope of a plot of ln k vs. 1/T.

Why are Catalysts Important? It is estimated that catalysts contribute 1/6th of the value of ALL manufactured goods in industrialized countries!
Catalysts can: • make a reaction possible under achievable conditions
• reduce the necessity of expensive & dangerous conditions
• generate high yields and high product purity
• reduce the amount of side-product and waste created
• generate non-racemic mixtures of enantiomers
• make a chemical process “greener”
