KineticsThe study of reaction rates.Spontaneous reactions are reactions that will happen - but we can’t tell how fast. (Spontaneity implies nothing about speed)For example: Diamond will spontaneously turn to graphite – so slow it is not detectable.Reaction mechanism- the steps by which a reaction takes place.

Reaction Rate
Defined as the change in the concentration of a reactant or product per unit time.
Rate=Conc.of A at t2-Conc. of A at t1
t2 – t1
Rate = D[A] Dt

Calculating Rates
Average rates are taken over long intervalsInstantaneous rates are determined by finding the slope of a line tangent to the curve at any given point because the rate can change over time

Defining Rate
We can define rate in terms of the disappearance of the reactant or in terms of the rate of appearance of the product.In our example: N2 + 3H2 2NH3 -D[N2] = -3D[H2] = 2D[NH3] Dt Dt Dt

Rate LawsReactions are reversible.As products accumulate they can begin to turn back into reactants.Initially, the rate will depend on only the amount of reactants present.Therefore, reactions must be studied at a point soon after the reactants are mixed.This is called the Initial rate method.
![Page 11: Chemical Kinetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814880550346895db58d38/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Rate Laws
The concentration of the products do not appear in the rate law because this is an initial rate.The order must be determined experimentally, and can’t be obtained from the equation
![Page 12: Chemical Kinetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814880550346895db58d38/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2 NO2 2 NO + O2
The rate will only depend on the concentration of the reactants.
Rate = k[NO2]n
This is called a rate law expression.k is called the rate constant.n is the “order” of the reactant -usually a positive integer and must be determined experimentallyOverall reaction order is the sum of the orders for each individual reactant.
![Page 13: Chemical Kinetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814880550346895db58d38/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Types of Rate LawsDifferential Rate law - describes how rate depends on concentration (often simply called rate law)Integrated Rate Law - describes how concentration depends on time.For each type of differential rate law there is an integrated rate law and vice versa.Rate laws can help us better understand reaction mechanisms.

Determining the form of a rate law(Method of Initial Rates)
The initial rate is the instantaneous rate right after the reaction begins (t=0)Eliminates the effect of the reverse reaction.The initial concentrations of the reactants are varied.The reaction rate is determined for each trial. See the example problem on p. 536

Collision Theory of Reaction Rates
For a reaction to occur, particles must collide.Increasing the concentration or reactants results in a greater number of collisions and therefore, a faster rate.Not all collisions are effective collisions.
![Page 31: Chemical Kinetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814880550346895db58d38/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Effective Collisions
For a collision to be effective:1) particles must possess a necessary minimum energy to break bonds and form new ones (activation energy)2) particles must have proper orientation at the time of the collision. (see page 589)
![Page 32: Chemical Kinetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814880550346895db58d38/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Factors Affecting Rate of RxnIncreasing temperature – ALWAYS increases rate of reaction– Particles collide more frequently and
energetically
Increasing surface area – increases rate of reactionIncreasing concentration – USUALLY increases rate of reactionPresence of Catalysts – lowers activation energy by providing alternate pathways

Reaction MechanismThe step by step pathway by which a reaction occurs is called its mechanism.The individual steps are called elementary steps.The rate law for an elementary step can be written from its molecularity.Molecularity is defined as the number of species that must collide to produce the reaction indicated by that step.
![Page 34: Chemical Kinetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814880550346895db58d38/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Reaction Mechanism (continued)
In most mechanisms, one step is slower than the others.A reaction can never occur faster than its slowest step.The slow step is the rate-determining step.
![Page 36: Chemical Kinetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814880550346895db58d38/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Determining Possible Reaction Mechanisms
The balanced equation for the overall reaction is equal to the sum of all of the individual steps.The rate law expression matches the coefficients of the rate determining step.
![Page 37: Chemical Kinetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814880550346895db58d38/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
ExampleNO2 + CO NO + CO2
rate = k[NO2]2
One proposed mechanism: NO2 + NO2 N2O4 (slow) N2O4 + CO NO + CO2 + NO2 (fast) NO2 + CO NO + CO2
N2O4 is an intermediate (forms in one step and is consumed in a later step)This proposed mechanism is consistent with the experimentally determined rate law.
![Page 38: Chemical Kinetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814880550346895db58d38/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Another possible mechanismNO2 + NO2 NO3 + NO (slow)
NO3 + CO NO2 + CO2 (fast) NO2 + CO NO + CO2
In order to be a possible mechanism the following two criteria must be met:1) The individual steps must add up to the overall reaction2) The mechanism is consistent with the experimentally determined rate law expression

Equilibrium StepAn equilibrium step is a step in which a product can rapidly re-form the reactants to reach equilibrium. The concentration of products is equal to the concentration of the reactants at equilibrium.An equilibrium step is indicated by a double arrow. (< -- > )Substitutions can be made in the rate law expression between the reactants and the products.

Integrated Rate Laws
Integrated Rate Laws express the reactant concentration as a function of time (instead of rate as a function of the reactant concentration).We will only be considering reactions involving a single reactant.
![Page 45: Chemical Kinetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814880550346895db58d38/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
First-Order Rate LawsConsider the following reaction:
2N2O5 4NO2 + O2
The rate law (differential) is determined to be
Rate = k[N2O5]This means that if the concentration of N2O5 is doubled, the rate of production of the products is also doubled.
![Page 46: Chemical Kinetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814880550346895db58d38/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Integrated First-Order Rate LawThe previous differential rate law can be integrated and as a result, written in the following form:
ln[N2O5] = -kt + ln[N2O5]0
Where:ln indicates the natural logt is the time[N2O5] is the concentration at time “t”[N2O5]o is the initial concentration

Integrated First-Order Rate Laws
All integrated first order rate laws take the following general form:
ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]o
Items to note: 1) The equation shows how the
concentration of A depends on time

Integrated First-Order Rate Lawsln[A] = -kt + ln[A]o
2) The above equation is of the form y=mx + b, where a plot of y vs. x is a straight line with slope m and intercept b.
In the above rate law:y=ln[A] x=t m=-k b=ln[A]o
As a result, plotting ln[A] vs. time always gives a straight line. (This fact is often used to test whether a reaction is 1st order or not)3) The integrated rate law for a 1st order reaction can also be written as:
ln([A]o/[A]) = kt

Half-LifeThe time required for a reactant to reach half of its original concentration is called the half-life of a reactant and is designated with the symbol t1/2.
The general equation for the half-life of a first order reaction is
t1/2 =0.693/k
(Half-life does not depend on concentration)

Second-Order Rate Laws
The integrated second order rate law has the form:
1/[A] = kt + 1/[A]o
Note:1) A plot of 1/[A] vs. time produces a straight line with a slope=k.2) The half-life equation for a 2nd order reaction is: t1/2 = 1/k[A]o

Zero-Order Rate LawsThe rate law for a zero order reaction is:
rate = kThe integrated rate law for a zero order reaction is
[A] = -kt + [A]o
Note:1) A plot of [A] vs. time results is a straight line2) the half life equation is:
t1/2 = [A]0/2k
