2What do we mean by kinetics?
- Kinetics is the study of
- the rate at which chemical reactions occur.
- The reaction mechanism or pathway through which a
reaction proceeds.
2.
3Reaction Rate
- The change in the concentration of a reactant or
a product with time (M/s). - Reactant ? Products
- A ? B
- Since reactants go away with time
- Rate - ?A/?t ?B/?t mol
dm-3 s-1
4How an Airbag Works http//www.youtube.com/wa
tch?vdZfLOnXoVOQ
- When sodium azide, NaN3, is ignited by a spark,
it releases nitrogen gas which can instantly
inflate an airbag.(one 25th of a second) - SiO2
- 10NaN3 (s) 2KNO3 (s)gt K2O (s) 5 Na2 O(s)

?B/?t until completion
6Reaction Rates
C4H9Cl(aq) H2O(l) ??? C4H9OH(aq) HCl(aq)
- The reaction slows down with time because the
concentration of the reactant decreases.
6.
7Collision Theory
- http//www.saskschools.ca/curr_content/chem30_05/2
_kinetics/kinetics2_1.htm - For a reaction to occur Particles must collide
with each other and these collisions must be
effective - Sufficient energy(Activation energy) and proper
orientation.
8- Maxwell Boltzmann? Read CC
-
- Activation Energy? Minimum energy required.
9Maxwell Boltzman
- As you increase the temperature the rate of
reaction increases. As a rough approximation, for
many reactions happening at around room
temperature, the rate of reaction doubles for
every 10C rise in temperature.

- The Nature of the Reactants
- Chemical compounds vary considerably in their
chemical reactivities. - Concentration of Reactants
- As the concentration of reactants increases, so
does the likelihood that reactant molecules will
collide. - Temperature
- At higher temperatures, reactant molecules have
more kinetic energy, move faster, and collide
more often and with greater energy. - Catalysts
- Change the rate of a reaction by changing the
mechanism. - Surface Area

- investigate the effect that the temperature of
water has on the reaction rate of antacid
tablets. - investigate the change in reaction rate when
varying sizes of zinc particles are reacted with
sulfuric acid. - explore the relationship between concentration
and reaction rate. - observing how quickly reactants are used up or
how quickly products are forming. This can be
calculated in three ways of precipitation - When
the products of the reaction is a precipitate,
which will cloud the solution. Observing a marker
through the solution and timing how long it takes
for this marker to disappear will determine the
rate of reaction. - Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Thiosulphate

NaCl(aq) SO2(g) S(s)
H2O(l)
12The graph lines W, X, original, Y and Z on the
left diagram are typical of when a gaseous
product is being collected
- X ,a catalyst was added, forming the same amount
of product, but faster. - Z could represent taking half the amount of
reactants or half a concentration. The reaction
is slower and only half as much gas is formed - W might represent taking double the quantity of
reactants, forming twice as much gas e.g. same
volume of reactant solution but doubling the
concentration, so producing twice as much gas,
initially at double the speed (gradient twice as
steep). - W gt X gt original gt Y gt Z

14Measuring the rate of a reaction
- The change in concentration can be measured by
using any property that changes during conversion
of reactants to products - CaCO3(s) HCl(aq) gt CaCl2(aq) H2O(l)
CO2(g) - 1. mass and volume changes for gaseous reactions
- 2. change in pH for acids and bases
- 3. change in conductivity for metals
- 4. colorimetry for color changes
15Measuring the volume of gas produced with time
16Mass Loss Method
17Graphs
- The graph below shows the volume of carbon
dioxide gas produced against time when excess
calcium carbonate is added to x cm3 of 2.0 mol
dm-3 hydrochloric acid. - (i) Write a balanced equation for the
reaction. - (ii) State and explain the change in the
rate of reaction with time. Outline how you
would determine the rate of the reaction at a
particular time. - (iii) Sketch the above graph on an answer
sheet. On the same graph, draw the curves you
would expect if - I. the same volume (x cm3) of 1.0 mol dm-3
HCl is used. - II. double the volume (2x cm3) of 1.0 mol
dm-3 HCl is used. - Label the curves and explain your
answer in each case.

C4H9Cl(aq) H2O(l) ??? C4H9OH(aq) HCl(aq)

Rate
20.
21Reaction Rates Calculation
C4H9Cl(aq) H2O(l) ??? C4H9OH(aq) HCl (aq)
Average Rate, M/s
- The average rate of the reaction over each
interval is the change in concentration divided
by the change in time
21.
22Reaction Rate Determination
C4H9Cl(aq) H2O(l) ??? C4H9OH(aq) HCl(aq)
- Note that the average rate decreases as the
reaction proceeds. - This is because as the reaction goes forward,
there are fewer collisions between the reacting
molecules.
22.
23Reaction Rates
C4H9Cl(aq) H2O(l) ??? C4H9OH(aq) HCl(aq)
- A plot of concentration vs. time for this
reaction yields a curve like this. - The slope of a line tangent to the curve at any
point is the instantaneous rate at that time.
23.
24Reaction Rates
C4H9Cl(aq) H2O(l) ??? C4H9OH(aq) HCl(aq)
- The reaction slows down with time because the
concentration of the reactants decreases.
24.
25Reaction Rates and Stoichiometry
C4H9Cl(aq) H2O(l) ??? C4H9OH(aq) HCl(aq)
- In this reaction, the ratio of C4H9Cl to C4H9OH
is 11. - Thus, the rate of disappearance of C4H9Cl is the
same as the rate of appearance of C4H9OH.
25.
26Reaction Rates Stoichiometry
- Suppose that the mole ratio is not 11?
Example H2(g) I2(g) ??? 2 HI(g)
2 moles of HI are produced for each mole of H2
used.
The rate at which H2 disappears is only half of
the rate at which HI is generated
26.
27Concentration and Rate
- Each reaction has its own equation that gives its
rate as a function of reactant concentrations. - This is called its Rate Law
- The general form of the rate law is
- Rate kAxBy
- Where k is the rate constant, A and B are the
concentrations of the reactants. X and y are
exponents known as rate orders that must be
determined experimentally - To determine the rate law we measure the rate at
different starting concentrations.
27.
28Concentration and Rate
NH4 (aq) NO2- (aq) ? N2 (g) 2H2O (l)
- Compare Experiments 1 and 2when NH4 doubles,
the initial rate doubles.
28.
29Concentration and Rate
NH4 (aq) NO2- (aq) ? N2 (g) 2H2O (l)
- Likewise, compare Experiments 5 and 6 when
NO2- doubles, the initial rate doubles.
29.
30Concentration and Rate
NH4 (aq) NO2- (aq) ? N2 (g) 2H2O (l)
This equation is called the rate law, and k is
the rate constant.
30.
31The Rate Law
- A rate law shows the relationship between the
reaction rate and the concentrations of
reactants. - For gas-phase reactants use PA instead of A.
- k is a constant that has a specific value for
each reaction. - The value of k is determined experimentally.
- Rate K NH4 NO2-
- Constant is relative here-
- the rate constant k is unique for each reaction
- and the value of k changes with temperature
31.
32The Rate Law
- Exponents tell the order of the reaction with
respect to each reactant. - This reaction is
- First-order in NH4
- First-order in NO2-
- The overall reaction order can be found by adding
the exponents on the reactants in the rate law. - This reaction is second-order overall.
- Rate K NH4 1NO2- 1
32.
33Determining the Rate constant and Order
- The following data was collected for the
reaction of substances A and B to produce
products C and D. - Deduce the order of this reaction with
respect to A and to B. Write an expression for
the rate law in this reaction and calculate the
value of the rate constant.

- A versus t (linear for a zero order
reaction) - rate k (k - slope of
line)
36First Order
- For a 1st order reaction

is converted to acetonitrile.

38.
39First-Order Processes
- When Ln P is plotted as a function of time, a
straight line results. - The process is first-order.
- k is the negative slope 5.1 ? 10-5 s-1.
39.
40Half-Life of a Reaction
- Half-life is defined as the time required for
one-half of a reactant to react. - Because A at t1/2 is one-half of the original
A, - At 0.5 A0.
40.
41Half-Life of a First Order Reaction
- For a first-order process, set At0.5 A0 in
integrated rate equation
NOTE For a first-order process, the half-life
does not depend on the initial concentration,
A0.
41.

300.0 0.00380 263
- This is a straight line. Therefore, the process
is second-order in NO2. - The slope of the line is the rate constant, k.
52.
53Half-Life for 2nd Order Reactions
- For a second-order process, set
- At0.5 A0 in 2nd order equation.
In this case the half-life depends on the initial
concentration of the reactant A.

56.
57Temperature and Rate
- Generally speaking, the reaction rate increases
as the temperature increases. - This is because k is temperature dependent.
- As a rule of thumb a reaction rate increases
about 10 fold for each 10oC rise in temperature
57.
58The Collision Model
- In a chemical reaction, bonds are broken and new
bonds are formed. - Molecules can only react if they collide with
each other. - These collisions must occur with sufficient
energy and at the appropriate orientation.
58.
59The Collision Model
- Furthermore, molecules must collide with the
correct orientation and with enough energy to
cause bonds to break and new bonds to form
59.
60Activation 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.
60.
61Reaction Coordinate Diagrams
- It is helpful to visualize energy changes
throughout a process on a reaction coordinate
diagram like this one for the rearrangement of
methyl isonitrile.
61.
62Reaction Coordinate Diagrams
- It shows the energy of the reactants and products
(and, therefore, ?E). - 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.
62.
63MaxwellBoltzmann 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.
63.
64MaxwellBoltzmann Distributions
- As the temperature increases, the curve flattens
and broadens. - Thus at higher temperatures, a larger population
of molecules has higher energy.
64.
65MaxwellBoltzmann 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.
65.
66MaxwellBoltzmann Distributions
- This fraction of molecules can be found through
the expression - where R is the gas constant and T is the
temperature in Kelvin .
66.
67- http//www.science.uwaterloo.ca/cchieh/cact/c123/
eactivat.html
68Arrhenius 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.
Ea is the activation energy. T is the Kelvin
temperature and R is the universal thermodynamics
(gas) constant. - R 8.314 J mol-1 K-1 or 8.314 x 10-3 J mol-1
K-1
68.
69- The effect of temperature on rate constants is
given quantitatively by the Arrhenius equation -
- k Ae-Ea/RT
-
- A is the frequency factor (although I like to
call it the orientation factor) - Ea is the activation energy.
- R is the ideal gas constant
- T is the absolute temperature
- e-Ea/RT is the fraction of molecules whose
kinetic energy is equal to or greater than Ea.
70Arrhenius Plot
- Taking the natural logarithm of both sides, the
equation becomes
y mx b
Gradient
m -Ea / R When k is
determined experimentally at several
temperatures, Ea can be calculated from the slope
of a plot of ln k vs. 1/T.

74Arrhenius Equation for 2 Temperatures
When measurements are taken for two different
temperatures the Arrhenius equation can be
symplified as follows
Write the above equation twice, once for each of
the two Temperatures and then subtract the lower
temperature conditions from the higher
temperature. The equation then becomes

7716.2. Reaction Mechanisms
- The sequence of events that describes the actual
process by which reactants become products is
called the reaction mechanism.
78- Reactions may occur all at once or through
several discrete steps. - Each of these processes is known as an elementary
process.
78.
79- Sometimes the molecularity of a reaction can be
used to guess if an elementary reaction is a
ratedetermining step. - Molecularity is the count of reacting particles
in an elementary reaction.
80- The molecularity of a process tells how many
molecules are involved in the process.
80.
81Multistep Mechanisms
- In a multistep process, one of the steps will be
slower than all others. - The overall reaction cannot occur faster than
this slowest, rate-determining step. - The slow step is the one that determines the
rate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
81.
82I. Slow Initial Step
NO2 (g) CO (g) ??? NO (g) CO2 (g)
- The rate law for this reaction is found
experimentally to be - Rate k NO22
82.
83- A proposed mechanism for this reaction is
- Step 1 NO2 NO2 ??? NO3 NO (slow)
- Step 2 NO3 CO ??? NO2 CO2 (fast)
- _______________________________________
- NO2 CO gt CO2
NO - The NO3 intermediate is consumed in the second
step. - As CO is not involved in the slow,
rate-determining step, it does not appear in the
rate law.
83.
842. Fast Initial Step
- The rate law for this reaction is found
(experimentally) to be - Because termolecular (trimolecular) processes are
rare, this rate law suggests a two-step mechanism.
84.
8585.
86Fast Initial Step
- The rate of the overall reaction depends upon the
rate of the slow step. - The rate law for that step would be
- But how can we find NOBr2?
- It comes from step 1
86.
87Fast Initial Step
- NOBr2 can react two ways
- With NO to form NOBr
- By decomposition to reform NO and Br2
- The reactants and products of the first step are
in equilibrium with each other.

90Catalysts
- Catalysts increase the rate of a reaction by
decreasing the activation energy of the reaction. - Catalysts change the mechanism by which the
process occurs. - Some catalysts also make atoms line up in the
correct orientation so as to enhance the reaction
rate
90.
91Catalysts
- Catalysts may be either homogeneous or
heterogeneous - A homogeneous catalyst is in the same phase as
the substances reacting. - A heterogeneous catalyst is in a different phase
91.
92Catalysts
- One way a catalyst can speed up a reaction is by
holding the reactants together and helping bonds
to break. - Heterogeneous catalysts often act in this way
92.
93Catalysts
- Some catalysts help to lower the energy for
formation for the activated complex or provide a
new activated complex with a lower activation
energy

94Catalysts Stratospheric Ozone
In the stratosphere, oxygen molecules absorb
ultraviolet light and break into individual
oxygen atoms known as free radicals The
oxygen radicals can then combine with ordinary
oxygen molecules to make ozone. Ozone can also
be split up again into ordinary oxygen and an
oxygen radical by absorbing ultraviolet light.
94.
95Catalysts Stratospheric Ozone
The presence of chlorofluorcarbons in the
stratosphere can catalyze the destruction of
ozone. UV light causes a Chlorine free radical
to be released
The chlorine free radical attacks ozone and
converts it Back to oxygen. It is then
regenerated to repeat the Process. The result is
that each chlorine free radical can Repeat this
process many many times. The result is
that Ozone is destroyed faster than it is formed,
causing its level to drop
95.
96Enzymes
- Enzymes are catalysts in biological systems.
- The substrate fits into the active site of the
enzyme much like a key fits into a lock.
